I left in '98. I was making $75k/yr working for Sun Microsystems in Silicon Valley, and I lived in the Haight Ashbury where the rent on my one bedroom apartment with parking was $2200/mo. I was comfortable, but definitely not saving anything. I can't imagine what it must be like there, now, almost 20 years later. San Francisco is 7 miles square. There is no more land. Period. It's like Manhattan, but with higher paying jobs. The future of that city/area is going to be fascinating/horrifying to watch.
