I think these stories always fail to mention that the minimum wage in SF is nearly $15 an hour. People scrapping by and budgeting can afford to live in something other than a box in the Bay Area

That's only 30K a year. If a box costs 400/month, I don't think they are getting anything nice on that paycheck.

That's $31,200/yr, before taxes. A couple each making this wouldn't even be able to afford a $3600/month 1 bdrm.

My little brother lives in Oakland working a low wage job in SF(I think he gets more than minimum wage by now though). He lives in some shared art house with a bunch of artists. Pays $450 a month for his own tiny bedroom in this huge house. He shares the rest of the house with the other artists. Not a bad setup for him.
Even without a car or having to pay car insurance...he really has to budget out there. Says he loves it there and loves the art scene there...just wishes he could afford to do more stuff there.
