It is certainly going to be interesting how this all plays out here in the bay area.
We bought our modest house in Marin 13 years ago and it can certainly be a struggle at times. Having a two earner household is pretty much mandatory and even at that it takes a pretty good chunk of my wife's and my income to make it work.
We play the game of what moving somewhere else would allow us to afford but at the end of the day we just can't imagine leaving (having been raised here and still having family here is certainly a factor).
It is a wonderful place to live and I do my best to never take it for granted and always avail myself of all it has to offer.
