Worked at a couple startups up there with 1 going public and another dieing. I think the only chance to live there housing wise is if you have a chance at the IPO millions. Sorta hard to ‘save’ with general taxes/high salary.
Other than that industry, sorta hard to pay/live in that area.
If you are in hi-tech and have the hot skills, I think that’s the only place to be work wise. At least till you get sick of it (me).
