I've always wondered how restaurants in SF can find employees. I've never lived in San Francisco but everyone tells me you can't survive there unless you make at minimum $100k. So where do these cooks making $15/hour live? These days nobody will rent to you unless you make 2.5x rent so how does this work?

Plus, SF is connected via BART to a few much cheaper areas like Hayward, Richmond, and Antioch where renting a room could be something like $600-$800 / month.
