Or less than a junior L3 in the bay area at google.

  And what does that salary get you in the bay area? Living in a tiny apartment with a homeless guy outside. No thanks.

    Toronto and Vancouver has basically the equivalent priced real estate as the Bay Area.

      If there's a large earthquake, what would happen to SF? - old buildings that do not comply with seismic code because codes don't apply retroactively - new buildings built on the liquefaction zone - Millenium tower already has defects even without earthquakes - some buildings are already sinking Everything is going to get rekt. SF is a huge house of cards about to collapse. But they will probably have it better than the guys at Hayward, CA... a town built on top of the Hayward fault line. Why would you do that? That's not to mention the worsening crime rates, even at the more suburban places. Oh, and the traffic, having nowhere to park your car, having to spend 1 hour in traffic to move 1 mile at peak hours, and seeing the city collapse each time a major conference takes place. And public transport is full of hallucination-haunted junkies that get randomly triggered. Sounds like exactly the right place to live, form a family and spend all my money. Or maybe not.

    It lets you afford a million+ dollar house after a few years?

      Yeah sure. And then you will get mugged on your own driveway* because crime rates do not care about how expensive your home is. *: https://www.google.com/amp/s/abc7news.com/amp/asian-man-robbed-concord-walnut-creek-family/10529027/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/abc7news.com/amp/asian-man-robb...
