Now imagine one just doesn’t choose to live in the literal most expensive place on the planet.

Because the jobs I want to work will relocate to the midwest to help me cover rent. /s

And before you tell me to take a less-fancy job, some of the problems a person might want to solve are far more interesting and rewarding than the kinds of “tech” jobs available in a place like Austin, TX. No comparison at all. People don’t work hard to do things that don’t interest them.

It’s so weird that you just pretend nothing exists away from a coast lol
