The Silicon Valley paradox: one in four people are at risk of hunger
Why pay $2000 a month when you have the whole country you could live in for much less? Why should I have to pay increased taxes for your ignorance&#x2F;provincialism? Is living in San Francisco a fundamental right?<p>I grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska. I&#x27;d suggest that these people move there, for the low cost of living combined with the vibrant-enough economy. Unemployment was at 5% <i>through the great recession</i>. However, I find whenever I suggest that, people act like if they move there they will be lynched - as if the place is a primitive wasteland inhabited by backwards rednecks carrying pitchforks. In reality, it is a modestly wealthy area filled with dentists, insurance providers, accountants, and other mid-level white collar workers. You&#x27;re more likely to die of boredom, but isn&#x27;t that better than food stamps, and isn&#x27;t boredom good if you want to raise a family? The people that read and write these articles don&#x27;t seem to consider things like this.
