@myronmarston Long commute from a less desirable neighborhood/apartment or from a sleeper town. Tokyo has *relatively* affordable options. - 2 more replies

@patio11 SV salaries (and the housing market) wouldn't be that high without venture capital, I'm reckoning. -
@Lockedown_ I think the primary contributor is AppAmaGooBookSoft, which together add about 1k net engineers per month. Each makes more $$$. - 1 more reply

@patio11 Is it just an artifact of a mostly immobile labor market? Or something else to it? -
@edropple Immobile market, significant non-cash compensation (largely social status), low appreciation that other options exist, stickiness. - 1 more reply

@patio11 How's the cost of living there? Expensive I reckon? -
@dirktheman Highly dependent on whether you're capable of living like a Japanese salaryman. Many professional foreigners "need" $100k++. - 1 more reply

@patio11 I imagine you also get similar levels of disbelief if you tell Tokyo people about dev salaries in the Valley? -
@cperciva Every single time. - 1 more reply
