It seems wherever I move suffers explosive growth in housing prices. This area is now turning into the San Fernando Valley. Every two-lane road in Canyon County now needs to be six lanes, because every parcel of farmland is now growing subdivisions instead of corn. Traffic jams are becoming intolerable.
I moved to Sonoma County and a zillion highly paid engineers followed me (some literally recruited by me into those jobs); housing skyrocketed as jobs appeared; then the billionaires and millionaires that most of my co-workers became pumped it some more. San Jose did the same thing. Now Boise. I am thinking south Oregon coast next.
Now that I think of it, I became a software engineer in the 1970s before it was cool. Am I a boom wave rider?
