It is a vicious circle. The tech talent pools in one area, so all the tech companies and start-ups pool to that area to poach good tech talent. Soon then the talent stays in that area because hey, that’s where the jobs are! That is how you end up with a median home price of 1.1 million and no relief.

Your friend might be wary about the buzz around S.F. that housing prices have plateau since it’s peak in 2016 (depending on what metrics you use). Honestly, if he wants to stay put for the long haul and love everything the bay has to offer – it doesn’t really matter when he buys but it doesn’t even sound like he wants to stick around. My husband and I didn’t want to stick around, too crowded. We move to Seattle, or what I call, SF Lite.

I have a feeling that he’s never going to be able to buy at this rate and I have a hard time imagining that he is going to be willing to stick around for any length of time. I do wonder at what point Silicon Valley employees say enough and encourage employers to find lower cost of living areas.

San Francisco is amazing but not ideal for most people to called residence. I lived there for 8 years and although I miss the food, I am glad to be out. It is too dense, everyone is elbow to elbow with each other.

If you guys go back for leisure, let me know and I can recommend some foodie spots 🙂

Though We visited a few years ago. It is certainly not a cheap place to live. But it is a beautiful city. We will definitely be back.
