It's no wonder that high-earning individuals are moving into California. A few numbers I ran across on the web:

- Bay Area economy is growing 3X (!!!) faster than average in US.

- Santa Clara region has an income average of $98,000, top 5 amonst the nation

- Average salary for Software Engineers for San Francisco is $210,000

This of course doesn't bode well for mid to lower income citizens, who now have to move out as far as antioch or stockton to afford a home. Bad for a family of 4, still doable for singles that can room with roommates near work. We really do need to have more housing in regions that are underdeveloped and soon will be served by the BART extension, google's building foray in downtown san jose, buildout in the caltrain stops between Redwood City and South San Francisco, etc.
