Like Hamsters on a training wheel

City people often seem like this to me sort of like rats in a trap or hamsters forever running on a training wheel in a cage. Everything is the most expensive in big cities. In California for example, San Jose to San Francisco is now the most expensive place to live in all of the U.S. A one bedroom Apartment in San Francisco is now over $3600 a month and that's a low price not a high one. It's probably like this in places like New York City or more. My youngest daughters friends from college are now renting a place in San Francisco freshly Graduated from  college for $6000 a month and 4 of them are living there to be able to afford it for example.

So, often living in a city people work 3 or more jobs sort of like hamsters running forever on a training wheel and never ever getting ahead just being trapped by rising prices of everything until they too are forced one day to move away from the city.

This is happening to people who have lived 5 or more generations in San Francisco now simply because Silicon Valley millionaires and billionaires have decided they love San Francisco too. And these Silicon Valley dot comers are moving there from all over the world now in droves and driving people out that have lived in San Francisco generationally since the Gold Rush around 1850 as they bid against each other for houses that once were 250,000 dollars now suddenly worth 1 million, then two million and then 3 million and beyond.
