That makes no sense. Being an HN member does not grant you magical survival abilities. Also, despite being an awesome place to be, SF is expensive to live in.
There is nothing magical about a large percentage of HN's members possessing a valuable skill(ie. programming, hustling).
Also, despite being an awesome place to be, SF is expensive to live in.
Agree. But there are enough hacks around it. Dining out too expensive? Cook at home. Apartment too expensive? Commute to SF on BART or get an apartment in the Tenderloin. etc.
