Does it matter if you are comparing one year of living in the valley? You don’t need to buy a house for that.

It matters a whole heck of a lot, but not enough to invalidate the statement.

It does when a massive portion of your supposed profits are eaten by a 4-5 figure monthly rent on a flat.

Eh you can find a two bedroom outside the city for like 3. You're still making like 2-3k more even with the higher cost of living.
