Its all about risk taking. I feel I am making enough to be comfortable as long as I am not a home debtor. Startup would give a chance of a larger payout but also means worse quality of life.

You have to be in with people how have had successful exits so the personal social network in that respect is key to making money in SV.

Some more data on the rents

Citra sunnyvale 1BR went from 1500 to 2000 in a year
archstone santa clara 2BR went frpm 1700 to 2500 in a year

The average starting salaries for new grads at my company is also up by 15K from when I joined around 2008. This has been done to compete with offers from goog, aapl etc. So the new renters entering the market can afford 2K rents for 1BR and there are not that many "nice" places to rent from. As a result the avalons, archstones, north parks are making hay while the sun shines.
