I don't even live in Silicon Valley, but it seems like every local dork on Twitter that tweets stuff like "Build Baby Build" has Dev Ops or "Full Stack Engineer" in their profile.

    These people do have trouble buying houses, at least on their own — work in tech and lived in an expensive non-SF city before the pandemic started and the only engineers who owned their houses/apartments/condos were at least mid-30s and had a spouse who was also in tech or other high-paying jobs

      Sure the housing market is too expensive for them too it seems. My main point is that most yimby projects seem to be apartment complexes so it wouldn't be an opportunity for them to become a landlord. At least that's the case in my area where everything is either a single home or an appartment with hundreds of units

      There might be yimbys who are focussed on condos and stuff but I don't think that is the case
