I think you might need a new calculator.

I have a 2 bedroom place in a very nice part of Los Angeles for less than my brother pays for a 1 bedroom studio apartment in a okay part of Silicon Valley. My commute is the same distance as his, but mine only takes an hour (rail + walking) while his takes 1.5 hours or more each way (driving). I don't need a car in LA to get to most of the major destinations; he can't travel around the Bay Area without one.

Silicon Valley and San Francisco are very different.

I live in San Francisco, so I’m comparing my experience living and working in the city to LA, not Silicon Valley.
