In Palo Alto? Bullshit. Unless it's a 1000sqft POS, there is no way you're finding a home in PA for $5000/month that is 3bed/2bath with a garage. Prove it.

Show me the listings! https://sfbay.craigslist.org/d/apartments-housing-for-rent/s...

You're all ignoring the general sentiment anyway. Not like it matters. Cherrypick all you want. Beating a dead horse. People are so dumb here about COL - acting as if $200k is truly enough to "very comfortably" live here. Ask any engineer in SV if they want to just stay at $200k/yr household income (and they don't own a home and they don't have wealth) for the rest of their life and they'll say no.

Yes, because people want to be more than simply comfortable.
