I never argued in favor high rent prices. I merely pointed out that they are more affordable, to more people, than you think they are.

Your misplaced moral outrage is clouding your reading comprehension.



[flagged]


Why are you so angry at someone who's just explaining the situation?


Trying to find solutions to the problem is fundamentally different than accepting the problem and finding a way to deal with it. It's the acceptance that kills me, because it validates the problem.


Once again, your reading comprehension needs some work. I never said that I spend that much on rent. In fact, I spend less than $2000 per month on rent.

But what I spend is not relevant, because I never made any statements about myself. I was merely pointing out that the argument, "Tech employees making $200k+ are the only ones who can afford a $4k per month apartment in SF", is incorrect, and that many people who make less than $200k are living in apartments that cost that much.


$4k is basically half your take home if you factor in a modest 401k contribution.
