In-n-out bites, so that's not even a question. Taco info is pertinent.

I loved living in the Bay Area but financially knew it wouldn't be possible unless I was still living with my parents. Beautiful area, lots to do, and lots of awesome people (and not so awesome).
But the tacos, burgers, fries, and seafood is worth it...IMOBut on another note this article reminds me of good ol' Berkeley.......

Oh god, if I had a dime for every time I listen to a midwesterner babble about how much they hate California, love to visit, but "Oh hair dair, I'd ever want to live there donchya NOH, frooots en nuts I tell ya!"
Whatever.

I get it constantly. Constantly.
"Where do you live?"
"San Diego."
"Oh, I could never live there. Land of fruits and nuts. And liberals. And cost of living. And workworkworkworkworkworkMYMONEYworkworkworworkworkCONTRACTworkworkwork. How could you live there?!"
"Very easily, actually."

I hear it all the time.
You can work an entire year to pay for a vacation to fly to Florida, go to Disneyworld, hit the beach, eat some decent seafood when you're living in tony Muskegon, MI… if you survive the winter.
Californians, well, we just hit the 405.

Yes indeedy. A beach vacation can cost thousands, and most people probably won't get much out of it other than sitting next to hundreds of other vacationers in the sand. Me? My new place allows me to walk 3 minutes to the beach with a surfboard under my arm. When you can do that, all the talk about high cost of living (and it is high, trust me) simply becomes background static. It is, as they say: Worth. Every. Penny.

Take the 405 South to the 73S to the 55 and it dumps you out on the PCH. Toooootalllly bruhhhh. Californians.
Yeah, I'm kind of in the "process" of moving out even though I've been here about a year, and I agree, it does take a crapton of sacrifice in the lifestyle department to be able to afford it, I'm kind of in a similar situation. Kind of works now, but I can see affording a place becoming a problem. But then again, I don't really see myself that much happier with a place back in the midwest/south with hardly anything to do.

Yup, part of the reason I love SF. Never too hot, never too cold, beach is close, desert isn't THAT far if you wanna day trip, and Tahoe is a pretty short drive away too. Plus cheap airfares actually still exist out here and taking a trip to Vegas/LA/Seattle every now and then isn't gonna bankrupt you.

Yet, seems to be no shortage of people willing to pay it when they could live like kings on that money most anywhere else in the country. Must be a reason. Now I don't agree with the cost of living out here, obviously I wish it were lower. However, those of us who are already from here either have to abandon the place we love or be money hungry, the result is most of my friends are successful and can afford to do fun things(Vegas weekend trips for example) despite the cost of living. And I went to a public school in a suburb of SF where less than 10 in my graduating class of 300+ didn't go to at least community college with the vast majority going to 4 years.
I'm honestly really glad I'm from here as I didn't realize how much I loved this place until I traveled around the country for a few years. I love Boston, for example, but snow, cold...I just can't imagine a life where you regularly live around the weather. Very restrictive for my tastes. But what I like most about here is people are mostly happy. Everyone has their problems, but I think most of us feel very fortunate to be here. Especially those like myself who wouldn't be able to live here without having been born here. I wonder what my grandpa would have said in 1950 if someone told him his $50,000 house in the isolated Millbrae hills looking down on the prop-liners at Mills Field would be worth 7 figures by the time he passed away. Things sure change.
Allegiant has $74 roundtrip Stockton-Vegas after tax most of the year. Do you even luxury jet trip, bro?

I wish you the best of luck my friend. I wanted to get my CFI here and move back to the Bay this summer but then heard that the flight school I got my private at closed in Livermore and saw studio apartments 200 square feet for $800 (BUT the owner was gonna throw in a MICROWAVE!!!!) and decided to look else where. I pay $275 for rent and includes all utilities here in Montana so I could just stay out here and save money rather than being picky and living in beautiful California. I'm sort of against going home and risk losing my motivation or dealing with drama. I think the Bay Area is awesome and sort of hope to be domiciled in Cali one day when I have seniority at an airline. I'm not sure if I'll fit in with the East Coast well...I'm not sure if you have any expierence there but definitely don't fit in well in Montana as they hate Californians. I have flown in the Dakota's, Wyoming, and Montana out here and I can only tell you how badly I miss the scenery in the Bay Area. Supposedly people say this state is beautiful but I've had 200 hours here and seen lots of flat land with a whole lot of nothing...granted the mountain flying can be pretty if you get lucky enough to do it. Hopefully you can hang in there and stay in Cali.

“If you jump on my shift, that’s just rude, man.”
When the tech bubble bursts again, as so surely it will and right soon, there'll be a slight adjustment...
Only slight, though.

It'll happen. I think it will be felt more in SF itself then the Bay Area as a whole. All this $4,000 a month to live in what used to be a so-so part of the Mission District will hopefully be the casualty when the bubble bursts. Then the next big tech thing will probably start rising in the Bay Area again and it'll rinse cycle repeat.
