We are now writing a fat check to the IRS for our capital gains. 

A BIG FAT COMMISSION CHECK.

And, don't forget the new people they hire will start with a much lower total compensation package and when the time comes, they will let go those people that started with a fat Bay Area salary.I don't disagree with you that a lot people will move out of Bay Area, but at end of day, people like SF Bay Area/New York, they will always be the hubs of the world at least in next 50 years.

Office space is going to be fat that gets trimmed to help keep companies afloat.

Man I have to agree with you, some buyers are like that, but of you list is fat as all heck, while he is waiting for someone to turn on the utilities, someone else is at the closing table with cash in hand.
