Bay Area rents are ~$1900, 2000 for a 1br in the best case.

  SF maybe. Berkeley no. Oakland hell no. Fremont, Hayward, Union City... There's life outside of Palo Alto and SoMa.

    Say I want to work for Google, want no more than 15 minutes commute, and want to live in a house of ~2400 sq.f (which I live in right now). How much would it cost me per month (both net and gross, considering that I have to pay taxes prior to paying my rent)?

      Those are pretty narrow requirements. I suspect the right answer is "telecommute".
      • dennisgorelik 14y ago
        Up to 15 minutes commute usually covers area of ~400 Square miles. That's a lot of housing to choose from. How is that narrow? I agree that telecommute could be the right choice. But then SF vs Minneapolis comparison is getting meaningless.

          Up to 15 minutes covers an area of 400 square miles if you're driving from a commuter suburb to an office building and take the freeway most of the way. If either the source or the destination involves a 'proper' city with any kind of population density, that range shrinks considerably.
