Ask HN: Wage fixing. Any updates from the trenches?
Are Googlers getting calls from Apple and vice versa? My selfish interest in asking this question is that I'm relocating from Denver to work for a startup in Sunnyvale. Home prices are through the roof. If wages are going up, I'm guessing the housing situation is only going to get worse.

I don't work for Apple or Google, but I can assure you that there is strong upward pressures on salaries for developers in the bay area. Housing prices are a bit more complicated.
I've also had personal experience with people relocating from Denver and having a _very_ hard time dealing with local house prices. Please investigate carefully using Trulia, Zillow, or Craigslist.

Thanks :). We are looking at all three sources.
I did that 2 years ago (Golden to bay area). I ended up living 1 to 1.5 hours from work.
I wonder if allowing a government agency to grant exceptions to anti-trust laws would be a good idea.
