旧金山湾区科技巨头的技术人员几乎买不起房 网友吐槽 [美国媒体]

The San Francisco Bay Area is getting so expensive that more than half of its tech employees, from Amazon to Apple, say the increased cost of living has caused them to delay starting a family, according to a survey by the app Blind.

根据Blind APP的一项调查，旧金山湾区的生活成本变得如此昂贵，以至于从亚马逊到苹果，超过一半的科技员工都认为生活成本的增加导致他们推迟了组建家庭的时间。

Despite earning six-figure salaries, tech employees in the Bay Area can barely afford a place to live, let alone start a family.

尽管有六位数的薪水，但湾区的技术人员几乎买不起房子，更不用说成家了。



About 50% to 59% of employees at Amazon, Intel, Lyft, Facebook, Booking.com, and Salesforce said they put off having kids due to cost of living. The only two companies where less than half of respondents said the same are Microsoft and Oracle — around 49% and 44%, respectively.

亚马逊、英特尔、Lyft、Facebook、Booking.com和Salesforce约50%至59%的员工表示，由于生活成本问题，他们推迟了生育。仅有的两家公司中，有不到一半的被调查者这么说，这两家公司分别是微软和甲骨文，分别占49%和44%。

The average tech worker in the Bay Area earns $142,000 a year, according to a report by tech talent marketplace Hired. While a six-figure salary average is nothing to scoff at, in a land where the median price of a home is around $900,000 and in a world where the average cost to raise a child is more than $230,000, it may not be enough when it comes to growing a family.

根据科技人才市场的一份报告，湾区的技术人员平均年收入为142,000美元。而六位数的平均工资没什么可嘲笑的，但在一个房子的平均价格在90万美元左右的地方，在一个养育孩子的平均成本超过23万美元的世界里，要养家这可能是不够的。

Delaying having kids is a nationwide trend

推迟生育是一个全国性的趋势



These costs only increase as children age, no matter where in the US you live.

不管你住在美国的什么地方，这些成本只会随着孩子的年龄增长而增加。

Mr. Mango To You
I worked in Tech in California and Seattle for 20 years. My co-workers all thought I was crazy when my family pulled up stakes and moved to Oklahoma, but it is all about work-life balance and standard of living. Short commute, little traffic, low cost of living, relatively high salary, low unemployment, a nice big house and yard, low crime, good schools, good neighbors, decent weather. The only thing I miss is family and the natural beauty of the North Cascades, but we have plenty of extra money to vacation wherever we want.

我在加州和西雅图的科技公司工作了20年。当我的家人搬到俄克拉荷马州时，我的同事都觉得我疯了。但这一切都考虑到工作与生活的平衡和生活水平。通勤时间短，交通不便，生活成本低，工资相对较高，失业率低，房子和院子漂亮，犯罪率低，学校好，邻居好，天气好。我唯一想念的是家庭和北喀斯喀特的自然美景，但是我们有很多额外的钱可以去任何我们想去的地方度假。

Why would you move to one of the dumbest states in the nation if you cared about your future kids?

如果你关心你未来的孩子，你为什么要搬到全国最愚蠢的州呢？

I live in exactly similar house you mention one mile away from Apple's new campus. When I bought my home 10 years back I thought it was crazy expensive. But now I see that the price of these homes in my neighborhood has gone to 2 million dollars. And homes are hard to find in my neighborhood. Just how much money is floating around?

我住的房子和你说的一模一样，离苹果的新校区只有一英里。当我十年前买下我的房子时，我觉得这房子太贵了。但现在我看到我家附近这些房子的价格已经涨到了200万美元。在我家附近很难找到房子。到底有多少钱在流动？

Thats Ridiculous and Insane! Is that 1.2 million dollar home a beach house or a 5,000 ft mansion? And it's definetly not "Rodeo Drive" Beverly Hills!

这太荒谬了，太疯狂了！那120万美金的房子是海滨别墅还是5000英尺的豪宅？而且绝对不是"罗迪欧大道"比佛利山庄！

@Brent "And that can be said for most places. My parents home sold for $7,200 when new in 1954. They bought it for $27900 in 1978. Sold it for $375000 in 2006. And that's in a small Twin Cities MN suburb."

在大多数地方都可以这么说。我父母的房子是1954年新建的，售价7200美元。他们在1978年花了27900美元买下了它，2006年以37.5万美元售出。这是一个小的双城郊区。

NO that's not really true, It's the same place but now ruled by idiots and rulers instead of by the people. New taxes on every breath you take, every mile you drive, money to pay for free health care for ILLEGALS? Well duh! The people of California either stand up and fight this #$%$ or they lay down and don't expect the rest of America to pay for their cowardliness.

不，这不是真的，这是同一个地方，但现在由白痴和统治者治理，而不是由人民。对你的每一次呼吸，你驾驶的每一英里收税，为非法移民支付免费医疗？好极了！加州的人们要么站起来反抗，要么躺下，不要指望其他美国人为他们的懦弱付出买单。

Yeap - I live in the Bay Area, got two kids, a house, and a six figure salary and it's expensive to live here.

是的，我住在湾区，有两个孩子，一栋房子。六位数的薪水，住在这里很贵。

I'm glad that I bought a house when the market crashed and was able to secure a fixed 30 year 3.5% loan otherwise even with a six figure income and my wife making closing to six figures, there's no way we be able to afford to live where we live with a combine income of over $200K and having 2 kids.

我很高兴我在市场崩溃时买了房子，并且能够获得固定的30年3.5%的贷款，否则即使我有六位数的收入，我的妻子也能接近六位数，我们根本负担不起生活在一个收入超过200万美元的地方，还有两个孩子。

Between Pre-school and after school care we're spending close to $2K a month on childcare costs. That's not to mention all of the other things after school activities and other costs associated with having kids.

从学前到放学后，我们每月在托儿费用上花费近两千美元。更不用说课余活动和其他与生孩子有关的费用。

So yeah, I can see people here either delaying having kids or maybe having 1, maybe 2 kids max based upon how expensive it is to live here.

所以，是的，我可以看到人们在这里要么推迟生孩子，或者根据住在这里的费用多少，最多可以生一个或两个孩子。

The problem with high cost of living and high wage areas is taxes. It is hard to get ahead as you make more. For a married couple in CA both working as your combined income gets over 200K every dollar you make gets taxed at a 9.3% CA tax rate and a 33% Federal tax rate.

生活费用高和工资高地区的问题是税收。你很难成功赚到更多的钱。对于在加州工作的已婚夫妇来说，你的收入总和超过20万美元，你挣的每一美元都要按9.3%的加州税率和33%的联邦税率征税。

I spent my 30 year career in Silicon Valley as an Electrical Engineer and Computer Scientists. Retired about 9 years ago. The people and attitudes have so drastically changed from back in the 80's. live in Arizona now and can't stand spending time in the Bay Area anymore.

我在硅谷做了30年的电气工程师和计算机科学工作者。大约9年前退休。从80年代开始，人们和人们的态度发生了巨大的变化。现在住在亚利桑那州，再也不能忍受在湾区呆着了。

I do not live in San Fran area. I work my full time job making about 50K and part time job making about 25K or so... My wife is home with my baby girl. When I come home in the evening from my second job, I feel satisfy that even though I work over 60 hours, I can afford mortgage, food, medical insurance, and other things, while my wife can be home with our daughter. I also can afford some vacation once a year and few other perks. I consider myself not that rich, but can afford all the basics and then some.

我不住在旧金山地区。我的全职工作赚了大约5万，兼职工作赚了大约25K……我妻子和我的宝贝女儿在家。当我晚上做完第二份工作回家时，我感到满意的是，即使我工作超过60个小时。我能负担得起抵押贷款、食品、医疗保险和其他东西，而我的妻子可以在家陪女儿。我每年也能负担得起一次休假和很少的其他福利。我认为自己没有那么富有，但我能负担得起所有的基本费用，还有一些别的费用。

I've wondered for years why any company would consider locating there. I still do. It doesn't make economic sense.

多年来，我一直在想，为什么任何一家公司都会考虑在那里安家落户。我现在也是这么想。这在经济上毫无意义。
