I think it's all well and good to have discussions about taxation and interest rates, but as a fellow San Franciscan, I can't ignore the fact that I no longer find it unusual to learn that more than a few of my neighbors are making multiple millions of dollars per year. "Normal" jobs, even as a senior software engineer, can't compete with the wealth gap, regardless of the tax rate. I don't pretend to believe that there is a solution to this reality.
