Should note that's basically the price for a full 1b to yourself in a nice and convenient area in the city. Most people who move here after graduation are probably paying closer to half that due to living with roommates/not in the super convenient and expensive areas.

Fair, but he is paying $1500 for that same thing in Seattle.

That's still crazy. I live 10-min walk away from downtown and SLU (where Amazon campus is) in Seattle and pay a friction of that for a nice 1bd (and still think it's too expensive).

SF is crazy.

The 10% -> 0% income tax SF -> Seattle is also a pretty big deal.

Seattle is a great choice. Salaries are similar. The politics aren’t idiotic. No state income tax. Standard of living is just as good.

Isn't Seattle the City Council where even the allegation of someone having worked with or been friends with Republicans becomes an election scandal?
