I grew up in SV, and there definitely is a generational divide though. Most of us (including my parents) moved to SV at some point in our lives, the only difference being whether this was in the 1970's or the 2010's.

The price of a house in SV has quadrupled (or more) in the last 25 years. Wages have increased,but not nearly as much. Newcomers have it disproportionately harder than the longtimers here.
