I understand your sentiment, I could move with the tides, but I think my point (even if I'm somewhat stubborn) is that I don't think enough people point out how much harder it's gotten for everyone, especially for newer generations. I'm a very high earner yada-yada but I wonder how others who make more reasonable salaries are surviving at all here. And I think the kicker is just hearing older generations not really understanding how much better it was for them in the same location.

But your "same location" is the location that had the single greatest inflation in housing costs in the country. You're drawing your conclusions from an outlier - the outlier, in fact.

I think you're missing the point that it's the first time in American history that children have done worse iff than their parents in 200 years of history. Yeah, SF is expensive, but also everything is expensive. A lot more. Opportunities are not what they used to be. Housing is one part if it, but wages have severely stagnated, and costs of living have definitely increased.
