- goobynight 8y agoIt's only a losing proposition for those that are borderline retarded and think that driving Lyft or bartending is worth it in the city. Who cares though? They opted to grind it out and provide services to rich people and middle class engineers while making some landlord rich. More power to them if they enjoy that. Once you're clearing SF costs by $50k+ per year, it could start to make sense, right? I would only move to the bay for $150k+ and that's the desperate low end. Probably more like $170k is the minimum to have it make sense vs the alternatives available in 2019.
