there's an entire wedge of the middle/upper middle class feeling a push factor out of the bay area, i experienced the complaints for a month (also from the working class). people who have young children and/or are struggling with extreme commutes, housing issues, and overwork from lack of people in their positions to run projects, etc. my boss was working over 80 hour weeks because they couldn't hire mid/higher level mgmt employees to do his job. they are flying people in like me because it's cheaper than paying professionals enough to be able to buy housing in the bay area...the situation in the bay area has moved way way beyond being expensive for service employees and is a huge issue with college educated professionals.
