“2 bedrooms in SF run from 3000 to 5500. Which is nuts. I don’t get how people afford it”
They afford it by having 4 or 5 roommates. I guess that’s OK if you’re 22 and “finding yourself” in SF, but once puberty is completed it gets unbearable.
Well, salaries are also proportionally higher in urban markets as well. 3,000 a month looks insane if you live in an area where the average income is 30,000 a year, but not so much when the average income is 80,000 a year.
