Well, I guess that's what happens when billions of dollars are just thrown around all over the place. I have read about some AI engineers being paid in the millions.

From the post:
>San Francisco’s AI boom has buyers spending unprecedented amounts of money on homes – much more than sellers are asking for. A new analysis from real-estate brokerage Compass, found that in the first half of 2026, more than 140 homes in the city sold for at least $1m above their asking price, 44 of them in June alone. The figure is a huge jump from January through July of last year, in which only eight homes sold for more than $1m, according to Compass data. Just six homes sold above that amount in the first six months of 2024.
Appropo of housing costs, check the cost on a new "mobile" home. They are starting in the $250.000s and are now considered "starter homes".
