I kind of agree, but, lets see, my current rental in the Bay Area is about $60 per day if you calculate it based on the monthly rent. I just checked and a room at a motel 6 can be had for $55.99 a night this weekend in Sunnyvale, CA (Palo Alto doesn't have any Motel 6's apparently), so if say, every 3rd night, you stayed at a Motel 6, you would be saving based on my rent situation, however I am not sure how cheap one could get a long-term rental (apartment), however, it would only cost about $600 a month to stay at motel 6's every third night and I don't think you can even get a room in an apartment, with roommates for that cost in Silicon Valley
