SJ,
The Valley is a huge balloon, ready to burst at any time. The wages of engineers in the Valley are at least 120K/year, more in the 160K - 180K/year.
This is good merely to make a little money for living. The cost of living across entire US is beyond any reason. Such high wages are essentially for few - average people in the Valley and many engineers do not live in their houses anymore the way as it used to be - they have to rent out parts of the house. Cars park everywhere on the street because now in a house built for one family there are two-three households (by intent, I am not saying "families") living.
The lack of reasonable rentals and the price of a more-less inhabitable home being in $1mill range was actually created by the lawmakers with the intent to patch the budget of California. They did patch, but we do not see any penny in return.
I am glad, I do not live in the States anymore and have absolutely no intent to go back.
I just hope, at the time I retire the Social Security is worth something. I just can't wait to retire. It's all total BS over there and there won't be any recovery ever. The jobs are gone forever and sooner or later these high-paying jobs (see above) will re-locate to their home countries (India, in most cases, very few Europeans are left).
Probably that would be the best, than Cupertino will be again more about apple orchards than Apple.
