150K is poverty tier in the bay area, you will literally be saving nothing
>4K+ rent unless you want to spend 3+ hours per day commuting or living in a pod
>40% effective tax rate
>all the benefits of living their are expensive, if you don't use them to save you might as well just live somewhere cheaper
it makes no sense to move there unless you are making 300K+, even then you would probably be better off taking less to work remote and work on a side business. At most do 2-4 years there to network and get established then leave';

whoever told you that is lying to you

rent is not that bad in the bay area its like the same price or less than every other major city in the usa

I find SF to be cheaper than Seattle';

'>>58420292
>public schools are shit
some of the best public schools in the country (and thus the world) are in the bay area, there are school districts here that are so competitive that chinese millionaires buy homes in those areas just to send their kids here

woodside high school for example

yes, the taxes are high. they are higher than seattle and that is a legitimate problem that needs to be addressed, considering the city governments in the bay area are filled with literal criminal scum faggots who give the money to their friends in non-profits.

doesn't change that the bay area is the best place to be in the world for people who want to change the world right now';

so great you've got to make a thread defending it and coping, do you work for SF tourism or something?

Correlation does not imply causation. Just because rich people own Ferraris doesn't mean buying a Ferrari will make you rich. Just because 1% earners are living there, doesn't mean you'll become a 1% earner. They became a 1% earner first, before moving there.';

> rent is not that bad in the bay area
It's not that bad if you are willing to live among the crackheads in the tenderloin, the squattemalans and mexican cartels in the mission, or the faggots in the castro. If you want a nice neighborhood, you're gonna pay extra. SF can be VERY nice, among the top cities in the US, but don't expect it to be cheap.';
