He works a lot, he wants to go out and party and go to fancy restaurants with the rest of his time, and he has most of the things he would use a house for in his office. If you compare his life to how he would use an SF-size apartment given his lifestyle (not how you, or someone else would live) it is quite possible he's not really losing all that much. He also has no commute between work and sleep, which is a huge quality of life bonus.
