The Bay is cheaper if you compare similar apartments with similar interior/exterior

Santa Barbara is significantly cheaper than bay area in terms of renting or buying real estate.

The 2br apartment I'm currently renting in SB is $2.6k/mo. A very similar apartment in Redwood City is over $4k/mo.

There are plenty of 2br apartments for ~$2.5k on the east side of the bay (San Leandro, Richmond, etc.), and you will have better job opportunities as well.

My impression was the best of Silicon Volley jobs are located somewhere between San Mateo and San Jose. Am I wrong?
