Interesting how many of the salaries in these samples are tied to college towns. Cambridge, College Station, Knoxville, & Chapel Hill just to name a few that I saw.
If I were living in Chapel Hill, I could also be reasonably working in Raleigh or Durham.
If I ever found another startup, I'll do it somewhere with significantly lower rents but proximity to a startup hub. For example, the Santa Rosa area fits the bill in SF, and there are areas of New York that are significantly outside of Manhattan or Williamsburg. It's just not worth the runway hit, and those locations force you to try for a certain kind of funding that might not actually fit the startup (or its stage…

For friends, I even let it go for $500. Only catch is that a monthly commuter pass to NYC is $350, but you dont need a car. This room is perfect for anyone who wants to work remotely without leaving the comforts of the USA.
Also one thing I've found as I work through a move from an expensive city (SF) to a less expensive one (Minneapolis) is that the things you're getting for the prices shown here are drastically different. I've found 1500sqft 2br/2ba apartments with two parking spots in the Twin Cities for $2300, while that same thing in SF would easily cost $7000. I paid $4500 for a 2br/1ba that was a little under 1000sqft with a single parking space.

The median home price in Santa Rosa is astronomical. Perhaps you meant Chico, or Corvallis, or something like that.
The confluence or random circumstance and intentional lobbying that have allowed SF area landlords to ensure that a low stock of housing is maintained in the face of skyrocketing demand is truly fascinating.
They're skewing the data to fit their narrative by only looking at medium rent for a 2 bedroom apartment.
