The $3000 figure is probably referring to San Francisco. $2000 a month for a one bedroom in Mountain View is a fantasy. Sure, you can go south to sunnyvale or further, but that adds quite a significant commute if one is working in Palo Alto/Mountain View.

For what it's worth, I lived in MV (rengstorff and sierra vista) for a year last year, in a 2 bedroom I kept all to myself for $1800 a month. It had a lovely back yard with a family BBQ area.

You, too can be this lucky (adjusted for inflation):

Just browsing through the first Google hit for "one bedroom mountain view" got me this: http://www.apartments.com/California/Mountain-View/Avalon-at... One bedroom for "$1565-1725".

I don't know if that apartment is actually available at that price, but $2000/month for one bedroom looks doable.
