Why can't you rent a studio or 1-bedroom without roommates? A Bay Area tech salary should more than cover it.

- fossuser 6y agoYeah we definitely can, but larger place with roommates is both twice as nice and a lot cheaper. Helps to save more to try and buy a place eventually.
- TuringNYC 6y agoI'm the GP commentor, and in my case, theoretically I can, though in my case I have a wife and two children, so it does get tight. And while I'm grateful for everything I have in life, and I have been given much more than my grandparents abroad...I do wonder -- after struggling through top colleges and a working hard for over two decades with ever increasing responsibility, whether I really "deserve" a 1br or should I aspire to more for my family and me. I realize it sounds both selfish but also reasonable based on how one looks at things. For now, we've chosen to live very comfortably in DC.
