Maybe if you want to live in trendy areas and in a big luxury condo? Obviously NYC ain't cheap but if you live in say, Ridgewood Queens or Sunnyside, you can get 1brs for 1600, easy.

    Sure, but while not great by New York standards, that would be pretty standard for the bay area. And if your startup is actually successful then you can pay yourself more and move somewhere closer to the office.
