Sure, where homes are cheaper but salaries are more than proportionally lower, and the chances of a professional couple finding jobs in the same city are low. Which is why people move here…

Do the majority of people moving to the SF Bay have a two-body problem? I would have expected it overwhelmingly attracted the personally unattached who obtain long-term attachments there.

I was talking just about the people trying to buy single family homes- which probably have kids and a two body problem. I sure wouldn't bother even thinking about buying a house in the bay if I didn't have a family.

It's nice to see Americans having to suffer from the bay area peeps what the rest of the world suffers from them tbf

Complaining about Bay Area people on HN is like joining a dogsledding forum and complaining about Alaskans

you're on an english language forum based in California hosted by a San Fran tech incubator. if you don't want to hear about US issues you're in the wrong place.
