People in general or people in tech? Well what’s the typical mortgage multiple, 6 or 7 times salary? So for the latter, it seems pretty attainable to get an apartment at the lower end of the market to start out on. Correct me if I’m wrong, though.

Well if you're just renting the CoL difference is nowhere near the salary difference you'd get in other locations/careers.
