And now you know why rent in big cities around tech hubs is so crazy high: because its worth it (and building more housing will just attract more people)

Yeah, personally I gladly suck it up and pay to live walking distance to most of where I need to go.

Unfortunately the impact of the people willing to do that on other people who can't earn $100/hr is pretty awful. I suspect in the long term that is going to end up gutting cities that don't find some way of dealing with it.
