9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-11-30 11:24:38

One of the downsides of tech giants creating Silicon Valley was the affordable housing crisis it spurred. That has made it next to impossible for those on typical salaries to rent or buy in the area. Apple was one of a number of tech companies which pledged to help out back in 2019, and so far has delivered more than most … The growth of tech companies within the Bay Area led to dramatically increased demand for housing, alongside price pressure created by the relatively high salaries paid to
