That's sharing a studio with someone or a 1BR with 3 others. When you actually factor in costs by all metrics you're better off making high 5-figures or low 6-figures in any non-urban area than you are being anything but the top 2-5% of software developers in the Bay Area.

So you're claiming studios are $6000 and 1BR's are $9000? You can get a 1000 sqft for < $3000 within a 1 hour commute of SOMA.

A 1 hour commute costs you 2 hours a day. That's almost like working an extra 7 weeks a year with lower productivity and increased wear and tear on you.

2 hours is about how long I spend at the gym every day and I'd hate to give that time up.

If you're spending more than ~50 minutes at the gym you're doing something wrong.

When you can make $200k straight out of undergrad, yes, it is.

Rents in San Francisco are very high -- high enough, in fact, that this silly, obviously-false hyperbole is unnecessary.
