On: What It's Like to Fail

He lived in Los Angeles, not the San Francisco "bay area".

Unless I am mistaken and there's a "bay area" in Los Angeles.

Fair point. Is Los Angeles cheap? I know it's cheaper than SF, but is it considered cheap in general? I don't think it is, but I'm not sure.

Los Angeles is a big place, but I don't think San Marino was ever cheap:

"In 2010, Forbes Magazine ranked the city as the 63rd most expensive area to live in the United States, with the median list price of a single family home at US$1,987,500."

He lived in San Marino which seems at least as expensive as the bay area. http://www.zillow.com/san-marino-ca/
