re: #337 klys (maker of Silmarils)
In the Silicon Valley area at least there is a very real housing crisis going on where people who are not software developers are having a very hard time finding any kind of affordable housing in a reasonable commute range.
Teachers, janitors, food service workers, etc. - they all need someplace to live and are increasingly priced out of the Bay Area.
And we won’t talk about finding housing on a grad student salary here.
Yeah, you’re no doubt quite right. I was mostly going on impressions - minimum wage in California is higher than federal by some substantial amount, is it not?
