$550 is the most I ever paid for a room there, but that was in 2000. My dad loves to talk about his $12 apartment on Sanchez back in 1965.

Rather a converted van, cheaper and serves two purposes as can guarantee that $700 does not include parking.

The USA is better than this. We should not be forcing people to live in tiny little dorms to work in our tech hubs due to housing costs. Build more apartments, fund it through corporate taxes and actually make San Francisco affordable for our brightest tech workers.

Tech workers shouldn’t be working from an onsite location unless they’re touching hardware…there shouldn’t be a central location they’re all at anyways.

Not everyone works well remote. I much prefer a hybrid model and honestly wouldn’t even consider working somewhere that’s 100% WFH. All that WFH does for me is decrease how much work I get done and make every waking moment in my home feel like work because I live in a 1 bedroom apartment.

Okay, then be somebody that goes in office?
