The original title was: Is there room for a middle class in Silicon Valley?

I think it's an important question, and if the answer is "no" what can we do about it? It was this line of the article that resonated with me: "We are becoming a community where our teachers, our police, our firefighters, our nurses, they can’t live with us. They have to come in from other places. Healthy communities have all these people living together."

It seems terribly unhealthy to exclude the folks who provide vital and valuable services to a community from living in it.
