Nobody forced you to live where you live man. There are plenty of other neighborhoods without the "locals" you dislike. Maybe you'd need to pony up the extra dough, but then complaining that you don't have enough money to live where you want to live is silly too. Especially because it's more than affordable in portola/sunset/outer mission/excelsior/parkmerced/ingleside and even daly city/san bruno/pacifica etc... the rents haven't risen nearly as high there as they have in other neighborhoods... but then again, they aren't as "cool" either...

This whole idea that you are somehow entitled to live where you want to live on your own terms is ridiculous. I'm not saying that you should be scared of where you live, but it's buyer beware man, and you get what you pay for.

Also, I doubt those googlers live close to their workplace (no, shuttle doesn't count), which makes it even more ridiculous.
