If you want runway, try not living in California for a while. Even in the US you can find far cheaper than Palo Alto...
- Hydraulix989 10y ago"Even in US..." This is shocking? California (and New York) are some of the most expensive places to live in the world. The US is a big country, and many great places here are but a small fraction of the cost to live (Pittsburgh, Houston, Cleveland, etc...). I can get a huge apartment in Pittsburgh for the same amount in rent as it costs to park my car here in SF.
- scrollaway 10y agoApparently it's shocking enough that people would choose to pay $600 to live in a closet rather than spend $500 of it moving a couple hundred kilometers away and have a lower rent and more than a closet...
