I wasn't trying to imply that the money is being misspent, FWIW. I was just illustrating how inflated numbers become in the distortion field that is San Francisco. As to your points: - Sure, preventative measures make complete sense. Of course, even low income, subsidized, budget housing is still stupidly expensive in SF, compared to the vast majority of the US. And of course, even just being virtually anywhere on the BART lines to SF/Bay Area are notoriously expensive. [1] - Again, totally agree. Health care costs be high, yo. But we can agree that they're only artificially high because of systemic issues in the healthcare system of the US, right? :) [2] I understand that lucrative career opportunities exist in concentrated industry meccas like SF/NY. Even still, I can't but help shake my head when I try to fathom the orders of magnitude that folks in the SF reality distortion field deal with. Especially when compared to ... well, pretty much anywhere else in the world, really!
