I assume you are in tech right? Way to mess up SF!!!! Haha. Kidding, kidding.
What really sucks overall is the culture we are losing in SF. Things are getting so stale out here it's almost unrecognizable. I mean I am for having places getting better but the people that should prosper are the locals and not the out of towners moving in. I've lived in SF for the last 8 years and I am finally ready to move out cause I need more room. I have a 450 square foot studio for a little over a grand but once I leave, some jerk off out of towner will get this place and pay double that amount. It's just he growing trend out here where locals leave and new people that can afford it move in. I would love to own a place in SF but it's just impossible with the housing market out here. It's just a overall sad situation in the Bay Area and honestly I don't see it getting any better at this point.

Glad I got the hell out of the bay area
$450/mo single apartment next to campus in Oregon with all utilities paid. No tax. I'm good with ever going back to CA ever again
I always found Berkeley and Eugene eerily comparable, I'd pay 2-3x as much to live in Berkeley without a second thought.

Pretty much. It's all about location for majority of these cats who move into SF.
IMO, If I had a choice to move back to the Bay Area...I'd sacrifice my time with Caltrain/Bart to get to work. Prices in the city are too expensive.
Side note, I thought cost of living in NoVA would have been a little cheaper. I was wrong about that

You can literally get a loft with floor to ceiling windows, hardwood floors, etc. in the heart of Atlanta for about $1500/month (if that). Google skyhouse Atlanta for an example of what I'm talking about.

Same thing happened in vancouver.
It happens when a particular group comes in mass from overseas to over pay and get in bidding wars ,to live as close to downtown as possible.
The place they come from is way more crowded and expensive ,so its a break for them but the packed density and rediculous prices just cause white flight.
Any mention of crowding and prices then just has people label you an entitled racist.
If anyone thinks canada is running canada still i dont know what to tell you

There's a reason for this, last year numbers are darn near the same too. Atx, h-town, and DFW are seeing swarms of people moving from the west coast

People blaming hipsters instead of foreign investment are out to lunch in the worst way.
That was always there.

Lol these aren't even hipsters. Hipsters died in 2011. I wouldn't even consider what I see hipsters. Hipsters don't work in tech. Let's not forget sf was like this before. And then boooom. Everyone bounced. Sf in the early 2000s was a semi ghost town. We shall see.

Once Apps become stagnant than they might thin out. These are tech/college Hipsters in my eyes.

I live in Walnut Creek (about 30 mins outside of SF) right next to the BART station so access to Oakland/Berkeley. It's a really nice area and my rent is $2,000/month for a 1BR which is still high but my employer pays for it so its all good. The issue with the Bay is the same issue NY has: limited space due to geography. There's a finite about of real estate and a gigantic job market that's experiencing huge growth. Add those together and you've got dudes paying $1800 for a bunk beds. I've from Atlanta and I know y'all are living lavish on $1,000/month but you can't compare land locked cities like Atlanta/Dallas/Houston/Oklahoma City to LA/SF/SD/NY.

I can definitely see the real estate bubble bursting in the Bay Area in the coming years. People never learn. They assume this type of economic growth will continue into into perpetuity and it won't. Once the growth stops who are they gonna sell their $4,000/month 1BRs to?

those making 100k are already struggling to keep up with the wealthy. there's still those guys making 200k that will pay for it. until the bubble bursts completely, there are still a lot of folks willing to pay these prices. i do see it starting to slow down. work in the mission and a lot of these smaller tech companies are starting to slow down
heck, even twitter is trying to lease out all that office space in their big HQ
