I see a lot of these lately (100's to 1000's of 'em), hanging around the office buildings with the "for lease" signs. I found some unbuildable lots in Santa Cruz Mountains (<1 acre, road and services tho) for a song, I was thinking of buying them up and putting camoflauged RV pads on them.
The reality is, why stay in SV if you're truly tanked and living in an RV? There is plenty of nice country to be in, far nicer than SV on $230 a week.
Of course I would be toast if my wife didn't work (an RN), I only have about 500 hours billed for the year to date, none of which has been earned within 50 miles of my house.
I'd love to see the parking lot of the San Mateo County Unemployment office.
All the folks I've known over the years at the plant where I've worked who have been laid off both short term and indefinitely have never, ever considered food lines.......
FWIW, the computer tech industry over the past decade and a half has spawned a workforce of gypsies, individuals changing jobs at the drop of a hat in favor of the next employer willing to up the ante.
Unfortunately, if it doesn't have anything to do with computers then they don't have anything to offer to anyone. God help them if they have to resort to manual labor.....
I suspect what many of these silicon valley folks will do is file for bankruptsy rather than sell and move across country for another job......
