dotted with $1.5M single family houses and $4,000/mo apartments
What about Hayward or East Palo Alto? Or Oakland? I thought there was still plenty of cheap land in the Bay Area, but people all want to live in the ritzy bits.

Maybe that's OK, I suppose, but in this case it has meant finding a place to rent is very difficult.
There's lots of vacant land on the SF peninsula, but no cheap land. There is cheaper land (not the same as cheap land), as you say, in the east bay, but the non-SF tech jobs tend to be on the peninsula or south bay.
BTW, this is the first time that I've heard Belmont or San Mateo or Redwood City being described as "ritzy." :)
