Well, that's a fair point, though I would suggest "bay area" could be "city with good jobs and strict controls on housing creation through zoning, density maximums, parking minimums, etc.".

You're completely right though. I'd had enough and moved to a dirt cheap house in the middle of a field in the country. Not having a mortgage or rent does wonders for the ability to not check emails/Slack on weekends.




I’m curious why the good jobs don’t spread our from these areas.

A good job by definition makes more money for the corporation than it does for the employee.

You’d think that the constraints of places like the Bay Area would cause corporations to employ people in other places.

Why is this not happening?
