The Cost of Living Southern

L.C.Stein

on Oct. 20, 2020

Silicon Valley has gotten disgustingly expensive in the last decade. I wonder how people can afford to live there.

UPDATE: Apparently since this comic was originally published (June 23, 2019), Northern California's rents have dropped and it's hemorrhaging people since no one can afford to live there (plus many people are working remotely from lower COL areas).

The Webtoons version includes a fact that at the time this was published, Ahmed's rent would have decreased by a factor of THREE for moving to Atlanta from San Francisco: https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/adulting-amy/the-cost-of-living-southern/viewer?title_no=490136&episode_no=23
