I guess it depends on what you value. I pay more than $1500 in SF for half a house, but I don’t have a car and my commute downtown is very easy on public transit. I don’t have a lot of stuff so don’t need a big, new place either. If I saved 25% on rent by moving to a city with non-existent poor public transit (like Atlanta) I’d just end up paying close to what I pay now by upgrading my living situation (new construction apt and no roommate) and factoring in a car and commute time.
- fiblye 8y agoIt also very much depends on your situation. If you're a single young tech worker, SF is great. If you've got kids or you're not working in tech, SF is the kind of place most people will actively avoid.
- cinquemb 8y agoYeah, very much situation dependent. I started working remotely while in the US and then decided I would just move out of the country. 2br apt for 750$ per month. I paid that much for a room in Boston in a Apt that I had to share with 2 other people that was old and had no amenties… yeah not going back to that. My working motto now is "make my money in/from the US, spend it elsewhere".
