>One of the guests I talked to was a junior dev. He was making 120k/y. He had to flat share. With 120k? For one, every city with a lot of career options for young professionals is actively hostile towards housing development, except maybe Seattle. $120k should be enough to live in apartment anywhere in the US though. However, with how high rents are, it makes much more sense to spend that somewhere else like an early retirement in a much cheaper city.
