San francisco bay apea rents are ridiculous, that much is clear. But tech workers at hot companies are choosers, not beggars. "If you're making good money, picking where to live is more about lifestyle," says Zillow senior economist Skylar Olsen. She crunched the numbers for WIRED using census data and her company's estimates and found that employees at older, more-established tech companies (like Apple) congregate in affluent suburbs, while workers at younger companies (think Twitter, Uber, and Pinterest) are more likely to live in hip urban areas near where they work.
