Yes, and no. 2 tech people making $5K/month would be just fine and have a life with lots of dining out, or day care for a kid. The problem is that the market adjusts, and the plumber, parking lot attendant, and artist can't afford to live in the city any more. So, a vibrant city full of artisans, craftsmen, trades, waiters and baristas with multi-generational families becomes a tech haven. San Francisco even has a tech cabal who want to re-write the city to fit their idea of a tech utopia. It was just fine before they arrived.
