Nearly half of Bay Area residents say they want to...
That means you're spending at least $24000/year on housing. If that's 1/3 of your income, you're making $72,000/year. For a room in a shared house.
That doesn't sound insane to you?

A room in a house in a Toronto suburb is not $1500/month, no where close. Even close to downtown looks like its less than $1000/month. While Toronto isn't cheap and is certainly getting more expensive its not bay area expensive (yet).

But we’re talking about renting a room in a suburban house, not about living in a major city. It’s insane.
