Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

What’s cost of living like though?

In fairness I reckon you could piss away three and a half grand a month away fairly easily in London.

obscene, you're considered low income in the bay area if you make <$104k

[–] AcidLeaves@hexbear.net 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

For a family for 4

Single income earner making 100k is doing perfectly fine

Idk, I live here and I think the numbers are inflated because of tech bros tbh

100k = 65k after taxes

You can find a nice studio in downtown or 1 bedroom outside downtown center for 1.6-2.2k, after utils. Ignore the median rent in the article, it's cause of all the luxury apartments that are needlessly expensive for tech bros

65k = 5.4k /month

After taxes and rent you have 3.4k a month?

In a city that's tiny and has a workable public transit system so you also don't need a car

Yeah, I’ve heard that. Got mentioned in a thing about the Cecil Hotel, in San Francisco, how basically no one can afford to live in downtown LA or SF. Interesting to hear it off an actual person.

72k is like minimum wage in California lol.

[–] AcidLeaves@hexbear.net 4 points 6 months ago

60-150k

Median is probably 100k
