I've worked here in SF as a Rails consultant for the past four years. It's quite obvious that the work force skews younger. My best friend just became a CTO and his bosses are both 20. He's 41. :-0
When you look to start a family, the pressures of working in the valley are going to bubble to the surface. You can either endure a 60 minute drive (that should really only be 20 based on distance) to a child's dr. appt for which you endure wall-to-wall traffic with a screaming child, you try to ride bart with a child in stroller and packed cars, or you shuttle a car seat to and from an Uber.
Or, you pay 30-60K for a nanny and let them handle those headaches.
It's hard to live in SF with a family. Really hard.
Hmm, seems like a business opportunity here, for Uber/Lfyt etc. to offer a car seat as an extra (in which case the car arrives with seat all set up and ready).
The data tell us that some people leave California in search of cheaper housing. A much larger number come from other countries (India, China, etc) for high-paying jobs. Net migration from Mexico has been very low recently.
