      You'd be right, but *even* those families are being priced out.

      Not the existing set. The tribe is literally creating a moat that their parents started digging with Prop 13.

      And the existing set doesn't see or feel these dead weight losses accutely. Imagine you moved here 10 years ago and bought a house then; how is life *not* good for you now?

      Retention among the 10 year ago set is not amazing. Every day the executive balance shifts, if only because the companies are *bigger* and there's more executives in absolute numbers.

      Ah, but here's the subtle thing: if your firm already has a bias towards Bay Area availability, you get 2 sorts: those who will put their families in a shoebox (or do without families), or the existing set. Prices for both are lower than Pareto-optimality under solidarity.

      And in an area and discipline that can't talk frankly about inequality, the patina of meritocracy and rational choice creates structurally bad outcomes for all.

      The whole weirdness of the non-company town is an assumption that if only the company would get out of the way, the municipality would come together to do things fairly. What *actually* happens is the existing homeowners conspire against the future ones.

      To say nothing about the renters. And *eventually* the population of future homeowners and renters *is* the workforce for companies. Even their executives. Who will thus, inexorably, either take political power -- or leave.

      I think that last point tries to prove too much -- at least when there are multiple employers willing to pay similar wages.

      I hear grumbling at VC's, see executives that wouldn't have moved here if they'd known, recognize that all these kids think they're rich while their parents had houses and families but were "middle class" -- And what I see, is a constituency.

      That constituency has a hierarchy of priorities and won't respond to a creeping crisis any better than we are collectively responding to climate change.

          The other thing that got me thinking was Amazon's HQ2. Because that also is an experiment in this direction, maybe a last gasp before just building a company town. That's clearly an executive driven decision, and is maybe the last gasp of "can existing municipalities help?"

          I think there's an active response happening, but it's slow and careful (as you'd expect something of this magnitude to be).
