Im hearing commute nightmares of colleagues that live in the Southland spending 1-2 hours in the morning and then again in the evening. Way too many people want to live in both the Bay Area and the LA region. The sleepy little California Central Valley agricultural town of Stockton where I was born now has a population greater than Pittsburgh, Pa and Cincinnati, OH (actual city population, not the metro regions) Most of the colleagues I work with in the Midwest and East Coast have never even heard of Stockton, Ca.
