The Silicon Valley is such a small little area [that] it's inevitable that prices will rise, and it's inevitable that those who have the most money will pay the premium to be as close as possible to work. The techies who are working these amazingly long hours and who tend to be really brilliant, great people - I'm for that. Just because someone grew up in this area for a while - I think that the person who is working at Google has more of a right to be here than somebody just because their parents were here. They complain they can't afford a home. I would say, just work harder, get more education - is my advice to them.
