Night Rider Liberal bragging rights. San Francisco on the surface is cool to look at but once you live there it's kind of shitty for anyone who doesn't have their head in the clouds about diversity or some bullshit. The homeless population is huge and nobody gives a shit. Everyone there is a vapid piece of shit who doesn't believe a damned thing that comes out of their mouths. Everyone is clawing for the dollar. It's the most soulless place in the US and the best part is they all think it's deeply meaningful to be a part of San Francisco in the 21st century.

San Francisco State Univ. has 2 affiliated daycares and neither are fully subsidized for faculty and staff. Full time day care (as of 2019) is between $2200-2400 per month. This is the case for most universities in San Francisco. On the other hand, several tech companies in the city offer fully subsidized childcare. Not saying tech companies are bad, just offering a comparison.

She's only an ASSISTANT professor of sociology; meaning she is NOT tenured. She most likely doesn't have a Ph.D yet but even if she does it's in sociology, which is not as marketable as say, a chemical or electrical engineering degree. Also, $ 110,000.00 per annum isn't that much anywhere in California, especially when that is your combined income and you have two kids. If she was single with no children and making that on her own it could be doable.

Everything costs more, everything smells like shit (thanks to homeless) and whatever culture of the 60's is gone and replaced by rich techies.

Many things were different. There was no tech industry, so it wasn't an economic hub for anything. Gays existed but they were a minority fringe group instead of a privileged group pushing an agenda. They were actually pleasant to hang around. Homelessness was about half or less of what it was now. There were neighborhoods like little Italy that had first generation hard working Italians. Hippies were emerging, but they were pretty tame by today's standards. A guy straight out of high school or college could easily get 1 bedroom apartment. It was basically a working class city with a few affluent areas that just happened to be in a nice location. Where as now there's no middle class, everyone pays more and gets less.

Like any addiction, obesity is intertwined with mental health issues, and like drugs or alcohol, when it gets bad you can't just blame someone for "choosing" to be that way. They're beyond the pail of choice and satisfying their craving/ addiction has taken over their life. They need compassionate intervention to break the cycle. Shaming people helps no one.

No matter if you went to college, earned your degree, and working a steady job, you're living at home with your parents. These days its no longer a stigma to being 25 and living with your parents, but it's such a pain in the ass that a city I've called home all my life is so expensive that I'm considering moving out of California with my boyfriend.

So many people to meet. You're gonna create a lot of great memories living there. I had so many good times there. Even though I was living in a musty dirt nasty studio apartment for 450 a week (1800/month) in the city, I still managed to enjoy every second of it. Everyday after work I would get on my longboard and cruise the piers and city sidewalks. I'd love to go back but there's gonna be a moment where you realize, wait I could get way more for my dollar if I left this place. And that's why I left. Way too expensive.

Why do so many families who grew up in the city insist on living in expensive urban centers? They almost always say it's because of the culture and diversity and things to do in the city. A) other places have that too and B) how often do you actually go out to eat and party when you have kids?

Yes it is expensive to live in San Francisco but you also get a much higher pay in San Francisco so it evens it out. For instance with current data available - the average income for an individual in San Fran is $52,700 and average rent for 1 bed in San Fran is $2,650. Average income for Minneapolis is $32,900 and average rent for 1 bed in Minneapolis in $1,550. In both cities you end up paying very close to the same % of your income towards housing and when looking at other costs of living they are pretty much identical. It only sounds very expensive to live there because if you don't live there and live in Wisconsin it sounds like you can't afford anything but you aren't taking into account the higher pay you will get for doing the same job in California that you are doing now in Wisconsin.

Even sandwiches are CHF 7 in Zürich. No way are they more expensive in SF.

Earning over 100k a year to live in a small apartment and struggle? No matter what memories you might have in that place justify that. She seems like a well educated, experienced person. Plan your move already.

I miss San Fran so much.

This blows my mind..... a family making six figures is living in a one bedroom apartment

Thomas Dalby It depends where you live. For example, the minimum wage in Cali is 15. However, all the prices there are a lot higher. However, if she lives in say GA then the minimum wage is about 7.50, and all the prices there are a lot cheaper almost 2x as much.

Pro tip: Don't live in a city you can't afford LUL

i just went to san francisco and i don’t understand why anyone would want to live there. i get that it’s where all the tech jobs are but it’s not worth the hype imo. so crowded, full of tourists, insanely expensive, and it’s very dirty. trash laying in the street, human waste on the sidewalk, syringes. i’d heard about san francisco having problems, but i didn’t expect it to be THAT bad.

San Fran is quickly becoming a 2 class city. Rich and poor, the void of middle class.

I really felt this, working for a multi million dollar CEO while I slept in a rusty old van.

This is a huge red flag that we are headed towards another crash as the housing market is in a serious bubble. Houses that cost $1.6 Million now were only around $400K only ten years ago and this is supposed to be normal growth? There is a lot of speculation in big cities like this where outside buyers are coming in and hiking up the prices by buying properties for investment purposes only. The middle class is being priced out of this ever growing marketplace and they are moving to the outskirts of the cities. I live in central Cali and we are getting price pressure from the major cities which is also pushing up our rental prices.

Hotsauce is Lethal This comment makes me think that my suspicions might be correct. I strongly believe the United States will become like Europe or Brazil where only the rich/affluent residents can live and enjoy the city while all the poor residents live on the outskirts, commuting in for 2 hours and barely making ends meet.

Anthony Turner. United States become more like Europe? You do realise Europe is not a country🙂 Which one you talking about? Just for the record you can afford to live in the middle of the city centre in almost every country in Europe. In England you can live in town centre in every city except London on basically minimum wage.

Exactly Viktor, I don't know what Anthony Turner is talking about lol. Yes there are some cities like Paris or London that are really expensive but that's not the case for all over Europe lol. 2 hours of commute is extremely rare here. Not saying everything is perfect but it seems that the US situation is already a lot worse than most of Europe so...

I work in San Francisco. I live in the east bay in Brentwood. I'm a union carpenter and make over 100k a year. In the city of Brentwood you can get a 2000 square-foot home for about 450k. I bought my house for 280k about 7-8 yrs ago. I'm only 33yrs old and my house is paid off. I bought my first house in Antioch ca when I was 19yrs old. I have two kids and a wife who is a stay at home mom and we have two cars and zero debt. The cars army new but guess what they are payed for. It only takes me 45min to get to work in sf and 50 min to get home. The catch is I start at 5:00am before the traffic starts and I get off at 1:00 pm before it starts again. I never went to college and I make more money than this woman and her husband combined. I did go through a legit apprentice program though. I'm a Forman now so I don't work as hard as I used to but I have busted my ass doing metal framing and drywall. There is so much work in the city right now some of my jobs they have a hard time manning up. I guess the reason is nobody actually wants to work hard and there is a stigma that says you have to go to college to be successful.

I guess what I'm trying to say is SF is kind of either for the young and broke or the old and wealthy. Not a great city for the middle class with a family. It is not a right to live there it is a choice. I do like the city and enjoy working there and I also enjoy going home to my 4 bedroom house 3 car garage and swimming pool.

robert booth Nobody should be sending their kids to college unless it is for engineering, science, or medicine. We have more than enough of everything else. The entire country of Germany exists on skilled labor. Hardly any Germans go to school for liberal arts degrees. The US should be doing the same. I was through apprenticeship and making nearly six figures by the time my friends graduated with bullshit degrees. Quite a few never used them.

The lack of manning in these labor position is why we need more immigration.

I’m going to make this simple . When you live in a major city , you are paying for the popularity of said city . There are going to be few ways to save money in a metro living environment because the alternative living structures become just as expensive due to high demand . I think one of the things that trap people in major cities is they think about better job opportunities. Yet that becomes irrelevant when the cost living is so high you barely break even. I’m currently pregnant and I recently moved out of Cali to Florida . I wanted to try a more affordable living environment even if the wage is 2-5 dollars less .

She's so California. I love her!

So it's expensive, has high homeless rates, a really high public defecation rate and is built on a serious geological fault. You have to ask yourself why.

Street cleaners use power washers and soap in most of Downtown, Tenderloin has the pockets of homelessness. It's one of that can have a busy nightclub with valet parking in the middle of a slum.

Maybe make a sandwich at home instead of eating a local $8 per sandwich store. Will save you $160 a month. Also instead of an $4 iced coffee just a regular coffee made with a simple coffee machine (so saves $3,50 per coffee) x2 is another 7 now you're up to saving $160 + $140 a month, already $300.

You're not accounting for the ingredients it takes to make the sandwiches and the price of buying a coffee machine, the coffee grounds, etc. Plus it's hot there and people need energy, let the lady enjoy her iced coffee. Realistically all you do by following your steps is add more work into your life and save like $30 a month.

It takes literally seconds to a minute to make a sandwich and or brew coffee. Also a regular old coffee maker will run you at most $30. 2 pounds of coffee beans is $7. Now depending on how much coffe you make a day let's say 12oz a day two pounds of coffe will get you 48 days worth of coffee.

But they aren't living off 100k a year sure thats how much but an economic sense they are living in or around poverty. Everything around the area and in California in general just costs more

I bought a home back in 2004 for $675k and now it's worth $1.1 million. Back in 2010-2013 it was worth $330k when the housing bubble burst. My wife and I own 4 car's ( well 2 of them are our 2 kid's) and we make $150k a year combined put our kids through private school and now college. It hasn't been easy but hard work and overtime has helped but yes it's gotten goddamn ridiculous here in San Francisco.

Can we get a 2022 update on this? I'm super curious to know what the cost is today.
