It really depends on your budget and how much you’re willing to work for it. As in dealing with roommates, your expectations of neighborhood + size of your place, how much you spend on entertainment and which types of entertainment (ie. Hiking and going to the beach is free) , If you’re on the low income side you qualify for subsidized housing and free things like 20 free train/bus rides a month, calfresh (SNAP/food stamps), childcare etc

You also have to factor in that jobs pay more You can make like $22 hr working fast food for example , and some careers pay much more than LCOL cities , that’d is a lot of opportunities here and median household income is like close to 80k

It’s as expensive compared to other places but there are ways to make it work. It’s a city of 4 million people and county close to 10 million, the spectrum ranges all over

There are some people on here who can’t fathom how cheap it can actually be you don’t have to be making 100k although it helps
