I wouldn't seek "ridiculous levels of pay" if I could maintain a decent quality of life. Fact is, my rent at a one bedroom flat is more expensive than my parents mortgage for a full house. Of course people are looking for ways to get ahead.

But isn't the concentration of high-income tech workers in certain areas the reason for those high rents, together with little regulation of the rental market? So isn't that kind of self-inflicted?

Nah, this is an issue everywhere. Where I live there are few technology companies.

Apparently it isn't an issue quite everywhere. I mean, for instance, it doesn't seem to be one where your parents live.
