Yeah, that dude told me that a studio up there costs around $1,500.00-$1,650.00 on average.
That is crazy. Period.

yeah i believe that...it's straight up fuggin' bullshit.....the cost of housing is way higher than it should be especially when you consider that the salaries there aren't much higher than let's say los angeles which is substantially cheaper to live in than san francisco or surrounding bay area communities.

ppl up there are getting the fuggin' shaft...and furthermore much of that expensive housing stock is old as FUCK.....often time it doesn't even include a parking spot and parking in san francisco is a nightmare

Where you living, Tu? LA?
How much you paying for your rent?

The rental market in San Fran is straight up bull$hit. If you're an average joe, living must be tough.

Rent is expensive in SF, but is reasonable (I guess) in the rest of the Bay Area after the dot.com bust. I'm paying $1200 for a two bed place in Fremont. There was a time (again during the dot.com boom) where is was $1200 for a studio. :beaten: Now if you meant mortgages, then that's a totally different matter.

yeah true...but you live across the water, you have to take the bridge...to get to the penninsula or the City...those areas are markedly more expensive than the East Bay.....

Yup, true that. First figure in $3 tolls (going to $4 next year), a relatively inefficient public transit systems (sure it's available, but not well connected), and well, some of the savings goes to travelling to the expensive areas.

my buddy has been pissing about the toll increase for months now. :shakehead:

Sure thing, since I helped push the car off the tracks, I'll help send it on the right path. Speaking of curry, that doesn't sound bad for dinner.

yeah they're japanese taverns that serve the small dishes you mentioned and other hot dishes like yakitori, vegatables, grilled meats, and other savory morsels...basically a place to eat and drink, and then drink and drink...you get the picture....there are several excellent ones here in soCal...the one i mentioned is new and was well received by my friends and i.
