Or work in NYC and live in NJ/Long Island. If you can get productive on the commute, you can live in a nice house for very little money, in a good school district. It's not as trendy as Brooklyn/SF, but I have a basement, a back yard, and a shed (with power and water). I might put a rack back there, and not worry about noise...
