Naive view here, but isn't this an indication that the job is not paying enough for the location?

Not naive, you just didn't read the article fully?

It doesn't matter how much you're paying people - they can't find a place to live here. The CFO of company here has had to move to Arizona recently and works remotely now. I live in Truckee and this isn't just affecting temporary workers or low-paid workers. This isn't even the "well it's gonna be $3500 for a one bedroom like SF, so I'll pay up". people simply can't find places in a reasonable pricing band. Then, when they find it - the owners sell it next year and the search begins again.

Anybody without a house is in a vulnerable state in this economy IMO.
