<<I absolutely do not understand how anyone who isn't already wealthy from stock options can possibly afford to live there! I also wonder about the "service industry" people - food servers, etc. I wonder how they live there?>> Trailer-parks, 3-4 families renting a house together, renting floor space (someone's living room to sleep on), commuting from Central Valley, renting garages/toolsheds... it's brutal.

OT > I also wonder about the "service industry" people > - food servers, etc. I wonder how they live there? They live in remote places like Concord (NE) and Hollister (S), where housing is semi-reasonable, and highway commutes take literally hours (not so much the distance, but rather lack of economic/political clout to build proper trains or freeways). Also, some of the recent immigrant communities are known to pack many, many extended family members in one housing unit. Just an FYI from Silly Valley...
