Really? We should all just be famous or independently wealthy, or have the money to move anywhere, that will solve the problem to extreme poverty and despair, the destruction of one of the worlds most threatened ecosystems, one that is the best for growing..what was that....food. Problem solved! Your so right lets eat books and money. Lets be so friend and loveless we don't care about losing our homes or familys company.......I know.......... lets all become machines! Machines! is that tough enough for you?

Because, in the immortal words of Jack Nicholson, "It's (the Bay Area) as good as it gets."

I visited SF in the early 90's and was thinking of moving there as I loved it! However friends well settled there advised me against it due to just the problems you mention. I returned to Michigan where there are many affordable and beautiful areas to live. But if you really want to stay there you will have to stop working for others and make your own way...check out people like Dr. Wayne Dyer for examples...He had a pleasant job where he says he was the star of the University where he was a prof...lifetime tenor. But then walked in and quit one day because he wrote the book, "Erroneous Zones" then unknown to most people. It became a best seller of course and he says he made more money in the first year than he did his whole life after that. Now he lives in Hawaii...even more expensive or at least as much as SF. He has untold wealth because he followed his dreams and doesn't depend on someone else to pay him any wage....You have to be an independent "star" of some kind...some kind of success in business to live happily in SF...
So your realistic choices are to do something like that, move elsewhere, or...quityourbitchin....no one is coming to save you! People will not suddenly say , hey lets pay that guy what he needs cause he want s to live here....check out Debbie Ford on hayhouseradio.com...and get real! It is really the only way to happiness

I agree it is extremely hard on some of us . I have had a rough life , and now that I'm getting older my husband works so that we can keep health insurance . Our money goes to Doctors , Medications , Insurance then food
rent and other bills . I blame the way we run our government on the , line my pockets and the hell with everyone else theory .

You're right, you shouldn't
Move to a less expensive city, I am serious. S.F. is one of the most expensive cities in the world.
You can do much better in the southwest or southeast
