This is why I don't live in the Bay Area, and have no plans to. I was casually surfing Trulia, and found new construction in my area starting at $170k for a 3 bed/2 bathroom. The idea of paying that much for an apartment(!) is simply foreign to me.
- ed25519FUUU 6y agoMy generation (millennials) really do think life only exists on a handful of very expensive urban centers. Most of the country is very affordable, but I guess they don’t have advertising tech companies saving the world so it’s not as desirable.
