Agree. I paid $700 for a studio apt in North Beach in SF with parking and it was affordable on my entry level public sector job. Signed, Gen Xer
As a Gen Xer, I can tell you boomers and even my own generation comparing their 20s to today’s 20-30 year-olds needs to stop. I paid $600 for a West Hollywood apartment at 23. Today it’s $3500. Burgers weren’t $20, they were $6 to $8 in a nice restaurant. Life is not comparable.
