It’s good to be prepared. The threat is real. Just look at what happened in Seattle: they took over 6 blocks, kicked out all the police, and set up walls and checkpoints for their new country: CHAZ but it has not yet been internationally recognized

Here in the Bay Area we have local politicians who brag about all the building plans they’ve shut down and voters applaud this!

Poop town SF is becoming less aspirational by the year.
And can you really say SF is aspirational if Houston is growing 4 times faster?
Re:A Brief History of California’s Housing Crisis
on Saturday February 22, 2020 @11:03PM (#22395053)
Nope. If you count growth by population increases, Houston is growing more than 4 times faster than SF and still able to keep housing costs low.

Well an H1b is basically like an indentured servant that works for a fraction of the cost and much longer hours. Some Companies want low cost labor.

When you get rejected, it’s not about you. There’s just too many high quality candidates and too few positions. It’s just the inevitable outcome of a vast oversupply of talent

Considering the massive over supply of labor, I’d say they could very easily replace that 20% several times over before they had any problems finding more engineers.

Sure there’s land everywhere especially in the east bay I can see miles and miles of empty space even from 580
I meant politically, the Bimbys don’t want more people in the bay area that’s why so many anti growth politicians get elected

The Bay Area is full. Voters certainly don’t want any growth here. It’s time for companies to move out of the bay area
Re:A new obstacle to landing a job after college: getting approved by AI

Talent shortage is a myth. Companies place themselves in the worst locations which are the least accessible places in the US (extremely high rent and commute distance) and then wonder why they only get a modest number of applicants.
Also, I’ve noticed many companies are terrible at highering

The vast oversupply of talent has gotten so large employers can’t even be bothered to read resumes anymore: Ai will. This is what happens when ever larger percentage of society gets more and more degrees

Of course it’s not called that
It’s called a corporate restructuring. Or they’ll just fire a few people here and there until they get to 10%. They call it “we re heading in a new direction”
