Judging by how impacted CS programs are at colleges, and how hard working the interns I have been seeing come through my company lately, wages may be stalling sooner than you think.

Like many other skilled occupations in this country the future is probably going to be very highly paid elite workers and masses of low paid people who are just "good". Kind of inevitable in a capitalist society where human labor is losing its value.

A massive increase in programming labor physically won’t fit in the Bay Area’s housing stock, and the industry already could have slashed costs anytime it wanted by hiring in the Midwest and South.
I don't know how "impacted" CS programs are and I don't know how hard working your interns are, so I can't make out what you mean in the first sentence.
