#2The thought of starting a company in San Fran makes me cringe a little with prices the way they are...but what you are doing seems very resourceful, kudos to you and good luck.

True, prices are absurd. If you can make it here despite the ridiculous COL, props to you. There are also livable gems south of SF (San Bruno, Millbrae, etc.) that make living in the Bay Area more palatable.

#4Does anyone have an update on the utility of building a startup in SF? Except maybe for the (certainly large) class of "interacting with real world" or "local" startups (like Uber or Grubhub) I feel like you could gain so much more by even being outside of LA or something instead.

#5Very impressive. I'd say that your age group and your relationship status have a very dramatic impact on your ability to pull something like this off.
Imho if you've already "done your time" somewhere else, this option becomes a lot less palatable.

#6You can start a failed company in a lot of cities. Congrats on living in sf on the cheap but it really isn't useful information to help aspiring startup founders.

You could pull something like this off in Vegas and live a lot more luxuriously. Yeah, you're stuck in the middle of the desert, but some folks in the startup community really seem to dig it out there.

The access to people you have here (for advices, fundraising, selling your company, etc.) can't be found anywhere else. That doesn't mean you can't do it anywhere else, but here it's just much easier.
