> and I have never placed the security of a job above the value of home

Yeah I mean this tracks because we can look at data to prove that it’s true. The value of a single family home in California has increased 10%-11% year over year. Is your salary increasing 10-11% year over year? What’s the point of chasing income at your job once you own a single family home here? Lol. I had to explain to my wife today that it’s ok that she hasn’t replaced her 70k a year salary and that it’s ok for her to be in school right now. We could sell our house and pocket the difference and nothing was lost financially.

Hopefully the companies doing business here catch up, I know it’s going to take a lot of difficult conversations and hand wringing, I’m really rooting for them. I can’t imagine the struggle of figuring out how to pay employees a living wage. Really can’t imagine what they must be going through right now as they execute mass lay offs in tech. My heart goes out to all of the execs. Truly. lol.
