This sounds a lot like people living in New York all their life and saying that the planet is overpopulated and that there is no space left.
What you are saying might apply to the bay area, but it doesn't apply to almost anywhere else. No one is entitled to live in the most desirable places on earth.
You could live almost anywhere else and not have the same problems.
Well, that's a fair point, though I would suggest "bay area" could be "city with good jobs and strict controls on housing creation through zoning, density maximums, parking minimums, etc.".
You're completely right though. I'd had enough and moved to a dirt cheap house in the middle of a field in the country. Not having a mortgage or rent does wonders for the ability to not check emails/Slack on weekends.
