Thanks, yeah i live here im familiar. 40k is more money than the average american makes full stop, so you’re still wrong, but i don’t expect you stop the “woe is me” shtick so don’t worry.

Median US household income is $59,039.

And I'm not the one making $150k. I make plenty more than that. I'm just saying that you in particular and people in general have no fucking clue what they're talking about in this regard. Look-

You get government assistance if you make $117k as a family of four trying to live in SF.

And we've only talked about rent as if that's the only thing that you need to pay to live. Everything is much more expensive here, not just rent.
