逃离开旧金山：1万美元搬迁费，助你离开旧金山！
TULSA, Okla. (KGO) -- How much money would it take to get you to leave the Bay Area? For hundreds of remote workers, it turns out that their price is $10,000.
要花多少钱才能让你离开湾区?对于数百名远程工作者来说，他们的价格是1万美元。
Less than two weeks after ABC7 News profiled the Tulsa Remote program, officials say they have been flooded by hundreds of applicants looking to take them up on their offer to move to Oklahoma and work remote in exchange for $10,000.
在ABC7新闻报道TULSA的远程项目两周后，官员们说，他们收到了数百名申请者的申请，他们提出搬到俄克拉何马州远程工作，以换取1万美元。
Google, Facebook, Apple, Amazon, and Cisco are just a few of the companies that the applicants work for.
Google, Facebook, Apple, Amazon,和 Cisco只是申请人工作的公司中的一小部分。
For some applicants it wasn't all about the money.
对于一些申请者来说，钱并不是唯一的问题。
"It's too hard to survive here and truly thrive here. And now with everything else we have going on, it's become even more difficult," said Jaleesa Garland, a marketing manager for the e-commerce company Drop.
“在这里生存实在太难了。而现在，由于我们还有其他的事情要做，这就变得更加困难了，”电子商务公司Drop的营销经理贾利萨·加兰德(Jaleesa Garland)说。
Garland, a Bay Area native, has already been selected for the Tulsa program. She's already put down a $125 security deposit for an apartment where she will live by herself for the first time since graduation.
加兰是土生土长的湾区人，他已经被TULSA项目选中。她已经付了125美元的押金买了一套公寓，这是她毕业后第一次一个人住。
"I've lived with about 20 different people over that five year period, so I'm really looking forward to being able to live alone and being able to do so affordably," explained Garland.
加兰解释说:“在过去的5年里，我和20个不同的人住在一起，所以我真的很期待能一个人住，而且能负担得起。”
The George Kaiser Family Foundation created the Tulsa Remote program as a way to lure tech workers from around the country to Tulsa.
乔治·凯瑟家族基金会(George Kaiser Family Foundation)创建了塔尔萨远程项目(Tulsa Remote program)，以此吸引全国各地的科技工作者来到塔尔萨。
Even before the pandemic, the program was having great success, receiving over 20,000 applications from every state for just 250 spots.
即使在疫情之前，这个项目也取得了巨大的成功，每个州仅250个名额就收到了2万多份申请。
In the last two weeks, Tulsa Remote applications doubled to over 500, twice the normal volume. Half of those came from California with most of those from the Bay Area.
在过去的两周里， Tulsa申请成功的名额超过500个，是正常数量的两倍。其中一半来自加州，大部分来自湾区。
"Many of these applicants should hear from us and be scheduling a time for a Zoom interview, and we look forward to getting to know them," said Ben Stewart, the foundation's interim executive director.
该基金会的临时执行董事本斯图尔特(Ben Stewart)说，“许多申请者应该会收到我们的通知，并会安排时间进行Zoom的面试，我们期待着了解他们。”
Stewart also reports that half of all their applicants have never set foot in Tulsa.
斯图尔特还报告说，他们的申请者中有一半从未到过塔尔萨。
"Honestly, I had to look at a map. I go, where is Tulsa, Oklahoma?" confessed fourth-generation San Franciscan Stephanie Robesky. "Do they have a Trader Joe's or a Whole Foods? You know, I wasn't ready to give up all of my amenities of the Bay Area, like ethnic food. So I came with an open mind, but still thinking it's probably not gonna work out."
“老实说，我得看看地图。第四代旧金山人斯蒂芬妮·罗伯斯基坦白道。“他们有Trader Joe's还是Whole Foods?”你知道，我还没准备好放弃旧金山湾区所有的娱乐设施，比如民族食品。所以我是抱着开放的心态来的，但还是觉得这可能不会成功。”
But it did work out.
但它确实奏效了。
Robesky took advantage of the program, continuing to work for an Oakland-based company remotely and eventually buying a four bedroom, three-bath house for $285,000. Bay Area friends had to pay over $2 million more for a similarly-sized house.
罗伯斯基利用了这个项目，继续为一家总部设在奥克兰的公司远程工作，最终以28.5万美元的价格买了一套四室三浴室的房子。旧金山湾区的朋友们不得不多花200多万美元，才能买到一套同样大小的房子。
Garland hopes her story is a similiar one.
加兰希望她也会如此。
"I am going to be making the same exact amount that I make sitting here in Berkeley as I will when I'm in Tulsa, except I'll have $10,000 extra dollars in my pocket."
"我在伯克利挣的钱和在塔尔萨挣的一样多，只是我口袋里多了1万美元"
