No, this is not true. Please come to SF and look around.
Talk to the working class (uber drivers, janitors, &c) about their lives. They work very long hours to just barely scrape by. Housing and medical care are very expensive compared to wages.
Take a walk outside. Unbelievable numbers of people living in misery on the streets. There are entire tent cities sprouting up like mushrooms.
It's bad, in absolute terms.
- ksec 9y agoHe is right, except the case of housing. Which is the biggest share of living cost.
- dilap 9y agoYeah, but housing is the 2nd most important thing, right after food! Also the ability to give your kids a good education, which is also very dubious in SF (public schools not great, everyone with $ sends their kids to private school). And even arguably healthy food is expensive; the cheap stuff makes you fat & gives you diabetes (maybe).
- ksec 9y agoThat is why I get a little annoyed when people say many things like Car, phones etc are way more accessible. I dont need a Car, nor a Smartphone nor any of the example they gave. I need Food, Water, and Clothes. Three most important things. Then I need Shelter. First three is solved, the latter happens to be the root of all evil.
