I live in LA too, I have a six figure salary and I don't see myself long term here buying a property here would be a huge commitment. We are talking 700k - 800k for an old 1960's single story house. I always think what I would be getting in other state,say Texas or Florida.
I wish LA/SF had more relaxed regulations so that developers could build lots of housing like it currently happens in Miami or Houston. or Tokyo
Bottom line is people are looking for a better lifestyle, not just a cool tech job. So yes we will continue to come, and maybe even marry local ladies.
