Considering we have a serious homeless and housing problem in the Bay Area and wages outside of tech aren't keeping up with the cost of living I'm not going to feel sad for this guy. Respect the thrifty, but sad? No fuckin way.

Oh, I'm not sad for this guy at all - he's doing this by choice. The sadness is the fact that housing is so unaffordable. The irony is that these successful companies have driven up the price, but the average worker there can barely afford to live there and still have a life. If this is a viable choice for somebody working as a software developer at one of the most successful companies in the world, what hope is there for the ordinary working person?!
