I spend a lot of time thinking about tech culture, the firms, and the people involved. One of the things that we all need to bear in mind is that great people in shitty systems do shitty things and it's sometimes *not individual moral failure*. At least not locally.
The difference between those numbers can be "I want to send my kid to a good school" (which is implicitly not possible because of structural inequality in their area). There's nothing wrong with that, per sae.

There are no locations in the United States where you need 300k a year to send your kid to a good school, let alone 600k or a million.

I live in Santa Clara and make around the lowest annual number above. It's tight, but glad to be out of rat race. I gave up on a super-zip house, which G/FB/etc. folks do buy in part to unlock public schools like the one I went to in Palo Alto 40 years ago when housing was cheap.
