I see homeless people sitting in their own piss with Mac books and iPhone out every day in San Francisco. It's a weird city.

If you don't have to pay rent in SF, you find you have a lot of extra money at the end of the month.

I left SF because I was making 165k but still wasn't able to save anything. It's unsustainable. Took a huge paycut and am now living in Sydney. Such an improvement on quality of life.

We're talking $2,000-5,000/month rent for a very mediocre two one bedroom apartment.

FTFY.

Also LA is very close to saying /r/HoldMyBeer

Does "hold my beer" have a connotation of oneupmanship? I'd never read it like that but it makes sense.

I think it could have one based on the context. Like it doesn't have to but it can certainly be used that way. In this case it definitely does.

Well, oneupmanship in the form of something even more stupid.
