Having had to sleep in my car when I lived in the Bay Area in the 2005/6 timeframe - this is spot on. Even though I was making 18.50 an hour (when minimum wage was either 6.75 or 7.25 an hour) I was unable to find an apartment that I could afford to rent, or could meet the deposit requirements (First/Last/Damage). I eventually found a room to rent in Sunnyvale/Mountain View for something I could afford, in the mean time, I was couch surfing, and sleeping in my car when needed.
