Leaving the Bay Area was worth it simply to avoid expending emotional energy on arguing about housing policy to this extent, particularly to unconsciously defend a decision to live there. Continuing to live there seems to condemn one to this attitude and approach to life, and life is way too short to have constant knife fights on HN over which major capitalist entity screws over homeless people harder (with some prejudice mixed in throughout the thread from working at one of them).
Maybe the market just sucks at housing in general. Keep fighting about it instead of admitting the situation is hopeless, I guess, and those of us who know better will snap up the $160k four bedroom mansions until you figure it out.
