It should come as no surprise that it takes two solid incomes in the Bay Area to buy housing close to work, because that's what the market supports

Sort of, but not really. The market can't provide lower-priced housing because of intensive zoning restrictions: http://www.amazon.com/Rent-Too-Damn-High-Matters-ebook/dp/B0... or http://www.voxeu.org/article/causes-and-consequences-land-us....
