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.
it’s very true that there are lots of places in california where housing prices are ridiculous. on the other hand there are large areas of the state where you can get a good deal on a house
but the trick is, as always, to find affordable and decent lodgings close enough to where a person can find a job
in this regard, california sucks
