It's not actually that bad. But we probably make more of an effort to be aware of our surroundings. I've never been robbed, but I've known from a young age that you never leave anything valuable visible in your car.
I thought he was referring to all the beer, brauts, and deep dish pizza. http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/bill-swerskis-s...
More than $150,000 16% Prefer not to respond 11% Rest of the % are all under $150,000.
Good senior engineer/product people make way more than that. I don't think any of those people are leaving. They are the critical-mass who will make/break good technical companies and power the innovation cycle. SV is in no trouble. There is no real scare of brain-drain.

I just want to add that Fort Lauderdale is a horrible, horrible place too. We don't have a tech industry here so you won't find work.
Maxim and Motorola seem like nice places to work, for me at least ;)
Please don't come to Austin. I moved from SF to Austin a little over two years ago, and I want to make it clear that it's terrible. The food is bad, the people are lame, and all the musicians are out of tune. I hear Chicago is where it's at, so please go there. Or New York. Or anywhere else, really. Just don't come to Austin.

Yup, it can just become 50% empty investment properties, and folks can scrounge for what's left. Some solution is going to be needed to prevent that situation, though maybe with all those empty houses, there'll be less people to make traffic so bad.
Just tax unused properties at a higher rate. Speculative investment wouldn't be as bad if they were rented.
Hope too, in 20 years, retire to Latin America :) Until that, I have to work, and BA is the only place where a programmer can work.
> and BA is the only place where a programmer can work. Yes, in exactly none of the big cities in the USA there is programming being done, let alone medium cities. Nothing in NYC, nothing in Chicago, Seattle, Boston, Austin, DFW, Minneapolis, Portland, etc Only on SFBA Sure
I already left! In Boston currently, but looking to go back to SoCal soon! (Really wonder why there isn't a bigger startup scene in LA/SD than in the Bay Area, it's such a sweet location..)
