I see people quoting those amounts for all of valley but South Bay isn't $4000 for a flat, SF is. In MTV, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, San Jose 1 Bed starts from 2k, 2 Bed from 2.5k and 3 Bed from 3k. It gets cheaper as you go South. If you want better quality/newer apartments, add $500.

Do you realize that any of these flats would be less than 1000 in Germany?

  Do you realize that at $150k gross pay, that's ~$96k net/year or $8k/month -> $6k after paying for rent?

    That's not the point that was being illustrated. The point being that at 60k a year, it's not even possible to pay for the rent in the valley. That's why salaries are much higher than Europe.

      Yeah 120k or so for a family of four in San Mateo qualifies you for affordable housing.

True, SF is not "the valley". 4K a month is ridiculous for rent; for reference I work in MTV, live in Sunnyvale.
