Cost of Living in SF

I wouldn't dream on moving to SF and living on $30,000/year. That's how much more we'd be making. Plus, we don't have to worry about housing costs.

 

What are we talking...$550 a square foot housing?

 

Those people in "Pacific Heights" didn't seem to have trouble buying a house.

The tenant gave them some shit, though.

 

Wow, way to pull off the obscure-movie reference, DyePack.

Somewhere, Michael Keaton, and his eyebrows, just nodded appreciatively.

 

Well, if Full House taught me anything, it's that San Francisco is expensive.

I mean you had TWO morning talk show hosts, a lead singer of a wildly popular band, and a stand up comedian, and they STILL had to all live in the same house with five kids.

 

This board scares me sometimes.

 

Live in the East Bay near a BART station.

 

According to one of those "cost-of-living comparison" websites, I would need a salary of $123,000 in San Francisco to maintain the same standard of living I have where I am.

So unless that's the going rate over there, I don't care how nice the sunsets are. They ain't getting my resume.

 

Hey, don't look at me.

 

When The Big One hits SF, everything's gonna be a fixer-upper.

 

How the hell do average people live in San Francisco or New York or any of those big expensive cities? Not everyone makes $100,000 a year. They've got coffee shops, gas stations, fast food joints and Old Navy stores...how do the people that work in those places make it? Seriously, I want to know this. I used to work with a guy who was a waiter in San Francisco and he never gave me a good answer, outside of "roommates" and "commuting".

 

Row houses.
