Nah,you can get a nice 1bd in SF for $2100 a month and save $1k/mo

"San Francisco ranks third of American cities in median household income with a 2007 value of $65,519." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco#Demographics

You're full of shit.

Meh, quit whining. Try 32k in Boston and get back to me about "low paid"

I've got a 90m^2 flat next to the beach, a car, a girlfriend who has no income since November, a cute dog :-) and money in the bank. All paid with my less than 40k€/year income. Of course this is not The Valley, this is Barcelona.

I didn't know that living there was so expensive, I'm sorry for you :-(
