Who has a better life? $15 hour in San Francisco?or $7.25 hour in South Carolina?

[percysunshine]

"Who has a better life? $15 hour in San Francisco?or $7.25 hour in South Carolina?"

Correctly framed, the question would be 'Do two people earning $7.50 hour in San Francisco have a better life than one person earning $15 hour and one person earning $ 0 hour.

The answer, of course, is open to debate.

Trust me..I have been looking and looking for a month. A little over a month. Every day. Every hour. Zillow, Trulia, Craigslist, low income housing, senior housing....to buy, to rent to own, to rent long term. Something. Anything. However, I have to be close to a bigger town for medical issues, hospitals, dentists, vets, etc. And I refuse to live in squalor or gang riddled neighborhoods. Nothing is out there for 400 per month.

I'm glad I have my van. I'm glad I have two roomies wanting to go with us. And if they change their mind, I can always find new roomies. But that means bigger town, with colleges.

 

[Gracie]

And...the homes in the bigger town near me? All owned by people in Los Angeles..renting out PER PERSON PER ROOM....$500 per person, sharing a room with 2 others also paying $500 EACH. In the same room. They are making a killing, those home owners.

"Come to California they Said, make $100,000 dollars a year they said"


"Nothing about living in a shoe box of a house"

I have NEVER rented a place for 400$ a month and I have lived all over the south. That's a fairly nice looking Mobile Home by the looks of it it would rent for 6-800 here.

So you only rented a place for $250 a month and your point is?

Nope cheapest place I ever rented was 450$ for a house in South Dakota. Paying 1,050$ right now for house in Gainesville,Ga. Parents just rented a place for 650$ not far from here. We are trying to find something in Tennessee between 600 and 800. Point is EVERYONE deserves a living wage. I lived in SC before. Certain places you can get decent housing for a decent price but not 400$ decent.

Here's a funny story. San Francisco's minimum wage isn't $15/hour.

That's not the point today and it makes the $400 dollar shoe box even funnier...

Now you're going to pretend you weren't referring to what you thought was the minimum wage in SF?

You're giving assholes a bad name.

Where would you want to live and rent for $400 bucks a month?

This:

Or this box for $400 bucks a month in someone's 1 bedroom apartment?

Why it's not completely ridiculous to live in a $400 box in San Francisco



We started the search for a cat-friendly, one-bedroom apartment with the max price set to $2,500. It would be more than we spent in Washington, D.C., but split between the two of us, my boyfriend Brent and I could make that work. Zero results came up. We paid for an AirBnB for one full month to help us get settled and, ideally, not be forced into the first available apartment we found, so we took the next week to search online for apartments.

I could pay $1,400 for a private bedroom in a house with other roommates — but I’d have to leave Brent behind. I could live in the “PENTHOUSE DELUXX FULLY FURNISHED” scam that had a price tag of $99 a month. Or we could commute from San Jose. We gulped and bumped our search window up to $3,300. Finally, there were a number of options. I emailed all of them. Every single one. Photos or no photos. Regardless of neighborhood, distance from work or square footage, I emailed with my friendliest compliments about their “absolutely beautiful” properties...

Just for the record can you prove that 400 bucks a month is the typical rent for a property as you depicted,

1 bedroom mobile home for $300 decent housing is subjective and I would think a hell of a lot better then paying $400 dollars a month to live in a dog cage in someone's apartment.

I will say this; mobile homes are very nice nowadays. I was up in Williams the week before last and Stacy and her husband just had a manufactured home put on their lot. Something like 38,000 dollars and it was spectacular.
