Hello Kaiyu, have you been to San Jose, CA before and what’s bringing you to the area?

[@scottfranco1962]

We had a relative move out here to work at Intel, came from back east. The salary was fantastic to them. They were here about 6 months, renting and looking for a house. In the end, they decided that on balance, they were making less than back east after expenses, so quit the valley and moved back.

Wow what a big difference from last year!

[@AmandaVangRealEstate]

Yes, every year the cost of living is going up.

Would have appreciated learning about actual first hand experience and not looking at numbers from another website.

San Jose will continue to do well thanks to big tech.

I am a scientist and could barely afford to live in San Jose with my family. Something is very wrong.

Hello! Where in San Jose are you looking? Buying a house in the San Jose/Bay Area will require some compromises. What type of homes and budget are you looking for?

[@Nirobiscloset10]

Exactly..

I guess I won't be living in San Jose.

[@ashton8878]

No way my $2200 a month will I afford CA.

That's the cost of rent I paid for rent in 2015, when I moved from L.A. to SJ. It was a tiny 2 story open space back house.
