Zynga is another app developer struggling, only places on the up and up consistently are cafes and food spots.

This was the main driver I tried to move to ATL or Dallas/Htown a couple years ago. I figure $80k would be cool as a single with no debt.
The Bay is wild expensive. I talk to a lot of tech folks who came down to SoCal from the Bay and it's interesting. Almost like the geeks vs jocks aspect.
Silicon Beach is becoming the same down here. My friends who are teachers, in their 30s, can't even afford to live alone in certain parts.
This new apartment was being build in the Bay. I think it's more than half filled at the time I got the flyer 2 months or so back. Posting via mobile so may have to open in new tab to see.

Moved back to SF almost 4 years ago and yeah I make about $60-65k ish in the city and am considered Low income no joke, Anything under $75k in SF is considered low income. We live in a cool loft in the Dogpatch and have a good rate locked in from over 3 years ago and my daughter's mother I live with makes about 3 times my income but things are going to be interesting now. She wants to stay in the bay but move to rent a house in Sunnyvale. I'm pushing to either move to the Phoenix Metro area, Seattle or Austin

I agree but it still could be some time when it happens. I want to buy a house but man, it feels so bad to know that this bubble will burst but I just don't think I can wait that long. My biggest regret would to be to buy now and only to have to live in an area that I don't want to and not being able to sell it to get my money back.
Pretty much. Younger generation are living in the now and not living for the later. They want to live in the city and enjoy the benefits of it whether it be eating, drinking, hanging out, etc. Quality of life is so important because I assume they all don't want to regret not living it up in the now and I am sure they all think they will be making this kind of money in the near and far future.
I hate to say it but these tech guys are far worse than the hipsters. I don't speak for all of them but man, some of these young tech people seem very entitled as if they are "old money" or something. This is where gentrification just pisses me off cause these are the guys that think this is what is best for the city when their opinion is so subjective and one sided.

Crazy how 3 years ago makes such a difference. My homie has a place in the Dogpatch as well about 3 years ago. Got it for $650K for a one bedroom which I thought was insane and HOA is $600 too. He's going to flip it soon for $1.2M or higher and he's going to buy a place in Saratoga, CA.
Renting is a good idea though. Seattle won't get you that much more but Portland for sure you can see a difference in your money.

As much as I love the West Coast (lived in PNW/Bay Area since 2013), I'm 100% sure that when it's time for me to settle down and have a family I'll be moving back to Atlanta. While I'm young and single renting is cool but once I have a wife, kids, dog, etc. I know I'm gonna want a house and I'm not about to pay $1 million for a shack like people do in the bay.

Seattle is getting expensive too man. It's not Bay Area bad (and it won't ever get to that stage) but prices are going up and traffic is getting bad. Also, that weather bruh. Summer in Seattle is beautiful; sun is out til 9:30 pm and its gets hot but not too hot. The other 9 months of the year are hot garbage consisting of rainy, gloomy days for weeks on end. There was a month long stretch where I didn't see the sun at all. not once.

Lol they are literally putting 21 new highrises in what was once a sleepy mall parking lot here in vancouvers suburbs by my crib. If you reserved a year ago and put money down you could have gotten a 1 br 1500 sq ft unit for like 350,000 canadian. First 2 buildings sold out and they havent even dug the hole for the foundations yet.
You couldnt find a hipster if you tried.
Rec centers are overflowing, anything that was once niche has a huge line, every parking lot is now a tight squeeze underground, festivals or fairs( dont even bother).
The only way to get anything done is to now go to run down old places that females hate.
Old theatres, malls, gyms....but even their days are numbered.
Im white flighting on house prices and people density...not because i dislike being around other cultures

Don't get me wrong I enjoyed my time in the PNW but as someone coming from the South that weather definitely got to me. Like I mentioned, the sun sets super late during the summer but the flipside of that is the sun sets super early in the fall/winter. Like 4:30 in the afternoon early. I would go to work (around 8 am) and its dark and leave work at 5pm and its dark. Add that to the fact that its gloomy all weekend and you'll see why people get depressed out there.

I live 20 minutes south of San Francisco, and I pay $2550 for a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house. There is no way I can afford to live in San Francisco. I am content, but am frustrated knowing that I will never be able to afford to own a home in this area that I am living....where as if I made the amount of money I make in another city, I would have owned a house a decade ago.

It doesn't get super cold. You'll see days in the 30s and some in the 20s but it rarely snows (think a day or two every couple years). It's not definitely not Boston/NY/DC cold.

Are you married? Do you have mobility with your job? Is so GO! I recommend Atlanta, Denver, Austin, Jacksonville.

In less than 15 years, DFW and Houstons cost of living will no longer look as attractive, it's starting to happen already.

My Uber driver told me that when I was in Seattle a couple of weeks ago. He said it's not just the rain that kills you but the grey clouds. He said it was grey for almost 30 days straight. Oddly he said when it is raining or what not, everyone is out and in bars, restaurants, etc cause no can be outside but still want to do something. I guess I went at a good time cause the two days I was there, it was nice and sunny. It made the city there feel really nice and safe.

Well there are other options like living in one of those old single occupancy hotels with the bums in tenderloin.
