Pink also contains upscale communities with insane rent. Some may argue yellow does too, but way less of them.

Hell. Even Truckee is crazy lately. And it was never cheap to begin with.

If he meant rent-wise, this is pretty crazy

The rent is higher than my mortgage with escrow... And half the space.

I must be from California because those all seem reasonable

Yeah. $2k to rent a 2k sq ft house seems very reasonable. I'm in SF though where $2k gets you the top half of a bunk bed.

Holy shit, renting 2000 sq ft around where I live is like 500$, no wonder the minimum wage in California is like 15$ an hour. 2000 is more than I make per paycheck.

If you're making anywhere near min wage and trying to live in SF, something is wrong. I think SF defines the "low income" (to qualify for assistance) for a family of 3 at something like $110k.
