<<why do people continue to pay this kind of money to live here?>> Unlike the midwest, the Bay Area is geographically constrained... ringed by hills and most of the buildable valley-floor land has already been built on. Even in the absence of stock options, salaries here for techies are 20-40% higher than elsewhere. And most of the high tech jobs in the country are still here, so where ya gonna go? Oh yeah.. and it was warm and sunny here yesterday... very pleasant. I wonder what the weather in Minnesota was like?
