Where did I say I hate it? I actually quite like it, so no need to cry. But, despite of how much I like and enjoy the city, I would never live here if I didn't have a high paying tech job that can cover my living expenses and allow me to save a lot in the process, it would be what I personally consider massively irresponsible.

I come from a small and beautiful European country where my monthly SF rent could easily pay 12 months of rent of an apartment close to the beach and I would get free health care on top of that, so if tech jobs in SF were to dry up, guess where I'd be headed :-)

Money doesn't buy happiness, but it sure as hell helps.
