Do you live in a state with an income tax? Why not move to a state with lower tax obligations and lower how much you spend on taxes that way.

Everything I have seen has indicated that cost of living in NYC is actually lower than in the SFBA but then again many people would not even consider in living in some of the borou…

I have always been of the mindset that if companies were willing to pay SV salaries in cheap parts of the country they would be able to recruit smart people to move there. Money is…

As someone who grew up in The Bay I never really comprehended the blandness of the Valley until I started traveling. Other than the weather there is nothing about SV that is all th…

Salton City, CA

you can buy a nice new house in most of the country including many of the largest cities in the country. Only that people always try to find reasons why the cities that are cheap a…

Thats something that has always amused me about the peninsula (other than SF). Other than the weather there really isn't anything remarkable about the place.
