Trades or service workers live outside the area and commute or cram in 8 to a house. My uncle was driving 3 to 5 hours one way doing heavy equipment at one point before he bailed out of the area. Everyone who works in San Fran/San Jose drives in from Pleasanton, Livermore, shit as far out as Tracy and Stockton, and turn the entire 580 into a 24 hour a day clusterfuck.
How the bay area hasn’t collapsed in on itself is insane to me.
Yeah we visited there 10+ years ago, stayed in a hotel, and ate at a nearby Dennys and I was questioning how those hotel and Dennys employees could afford to work in those places.
The fact that I work in the trades, not an office job, is one of the main reasons I haven’t had to move to the capital for work. All my friends had to relocate because they couldn’t find jobs in our hometown - now they’re renting and living paycheck to paycheck on salaries higher than mine, while I’m the only one who owns a house.
Yup, those are the people who benefit. Everyone else gets priced out. And good luck if you’re in trades or the service industry.
