$40k is probably a more accurate median. Still, after taxes, that should leave ~$80k money to live on/save beyond rent concerns.

40k is accurate if you only need one bedroom. Now try being the breadwinner for 4 people.

I don’t see the motivation of raising a family and paying such a high rent in SF, particularly when Twitter has stated just about all their employees can work remote.

With the Elon cloud that statement doesn't really mean anything.

I agree. That's why people are leaving in droves.

A nice (but not luxury) 2BR place, or a modest 3BR place, within 60 minutes of SF (excluding Central/Deep East Oakland) can easily be $50k/year if you moved in within last 3 years.

That’s probably close to the average (4k/mo).

If you need 3BRs in SF, you probably have 2 incomes.
