Yeah, all those people who drive my Lyft, deliver my Good Eggs, Rabbit my Tasks or teach my children in public school and those nurses should just commute every day from Modesto or Dublin! Or you know maybe just move away if they are too poor.

Yes, exactly. No one is entitled to live anywhere. Don't be ridiculous. If they were willing to move they would accordingly become scarce and therefore more valuable and an equilibrium would met. By staying they are simply harming themselves -- to what end? Plenty of people move away from the Bay Area for cost reasons.

This is the same dilemma that has inhibited them from gaining leverage politically that would resolve the zoning issues.

Where should the non-tech workers of the Bay Area live?

[scarface74]

They should leave the Bay Area. I wouldn’t go near the Bay Area to live. I have a nice comfortable life in a major metro area in a good school system where my mortgage on my brand new build 3000 square foot house is around $2000.

[saagarjha]

Well, someone has to run essential services, right? Who's going to teach? Who's going to work in the services industry?

[scarface74]

If more people left, they would have to pay more.

[jinushaun]

But where would this end? Where does this money come from to pay them? More taxes for the SAME service at HIGHER cost? I moved from SF to NY and I feel like my high taxes benefit me much more directly than SF.

[mothers]

Anywhere they can afford to.

Enjoy the garbage piling up in the streets when garbage collectors can't afford to live there.
