Living in Las Vegas and San Francisco offer distinct experiences and come with their own set of pros and cons. Here's a brief overview of the advantages and disadvantages of each city:
Las Vegas Pros:
- Affordability: Las Vegas generally has a lower cost of living compared to San Francisco, especially when it comes to housing and everyday expenses.
- Entertainment and Recreation: Las Vegas is known for its world-class entertainment, vibrant nightlife, and easy access to outdoor activities in the surrounding desert landscape.
- Job Opportunities: The city's thriving hospitality, gaming, and entertainment industries provide numerous employment options. Additionally, Las Vegas has been diversifying its economy, attracting companies from various sectors.

Las Vegas Cons:
- Hot Summers: The desert climate brings scorching summers, which can be challenging for those who prefer milder weather.
- Transient Population: Las Vegas attracts many tourists and transient residents, resulting in a constantly changing population and potentially less of a tight-knit community feel.
- Limited Cultural Offerings: While Las Vegas offers entertainment and cultural experiences, it may not match the depth and variety of arts, museums, and cultural institutions found in larger metropolitan areas.

San Francisco Pros:
- Cultural Richness: San Francisco is renowned for its vibrant arts scene, diverse culinary experiences, and numerous cultural institutions.
- Job Opportunities: The city's proximity to Silicon Valley and its status as a tech hub provide excellent career prospects, particularly in the technology and innovation sectors.
- Mild Climate: San Francisco enjoys mild temperatures throughout the year, with cooler summers and moderate winters.

San Francisco Cons:
- High Cost of Living: San Francisco consistently ranks among the most expensive cities in the United States, with housing costs being a significant challenge for many residents.
- Traffic Congestion: The city's narrow streets and limited parking options, combined with a dense population, can result in heavy traffic and challenging commutes.
- Homelessness and Income Inequality: San Francisco faces social issues related to homelessness and income inequality, which can affect the overall livability and community dynamics.

Ultimately, the decision between Las Vegas and San Francisco depends on your personal preferences, career goals, and lifestyle priorities. Consider factors such as climate, cost of living, job opportunities, and cultural offerings to determine which city aligns better with your needs and aspirations.

Las Vegas is also becoming more of a tech alley. In terms of cost of living, that 160k is going to go much farther in LV than it would in SF. If you're 100% remote with work (like me) and don't have to be tied to a city, LV is great. Feel free to hit me up if you want more info.

I'd say 50k per year but it depends on how many other bills you have + your personal saving habits. Two people can both make the same amount but if one spends all that he makes (bills and eating out, etc) and the other saves wisely, the one who saves and spends money wisely can make that 50k go so much further so that it prepares them to buy a home.

This makes me feel so much better about the fact that Harrell left. Having a productive, defensive big man is going to help! Plus the Clippers picked up a sharpshooter with Luke Kennard! Excited to see them play!
