[Sca-cooks] San Francisco

[Huette von Ahrens]

San Francisco is in the top 5 cities as the most
expensive to live in.  Most of those I know who
have to work in San Francisco live outside SF
near one of the BART stations and commute.  It is
much cheaper to live in the surrounding
countryside than to actually live in SF, unless
you are independently wealthy.

Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they
