The "it costs a fuckton to buy anything in SF" number. I don't think those calculators really take into account all you're giving up by living in a closet like Tyen's kids. To get an "equivalent" living space to normal suburbs it'd cost tens of millions.
This may be true, i can get a 50 acre farm here for 400k, would that cost more than 800k in downtown san fran?

Just a bit!
Think about how any joe schmoe can afford a 4 bedroom house in a normal suburb...
Check 4 bedroom apartment prices in SF or NYC or LA... lets not even get started on the fact that those apartments are probably 1200 sq ft 4 bedrooms...

I am from Brooklyn originally. Don't know how happy I would be if I had to work in the city, the public transportation is balls. Luckily half the time I spend in my office on SI and the other half I drive all over.

I make about 90K and the wife which recently went back to work part time adds in about 10-20K more per year. And this is comfortable for us here in Detroit suburbs. Not rich, but definitely not poor either. Pretty much debt free except house, Have a nice 2K sq ft ranch in nice neighborhod, have another place in northern MI, about 3 hours away, to go vacation in that a few acres and 2 huge pole-barns filled with toys like boat, snowmobiles 4x4s, tractor to do work. Work is good and not too stressful, work 9-5, do minimal shit for the most part, get like a month off every year. Plus like 18 days of your standard holidays.

When I took my last job in a suburb of San Antonio and lived in the hill country I was offered 3x the salary from the parent company in the bay area in CA. People were suprised I turned that down. Our office in San Antonio was 1/3 people who left the CA office for a downgrade in pay and were shocked they could afford a real house with land and such.
The president of the company in San Antonio was another gun nut and he said right off, don't do it lol. He was from TX and had lived out there a number of years. No kidding. Everyother Friday at 11 we took off and went shooting. I really didn't see that happening in San Francisco.

This shouldn't even be a question. That part time job is a dead end and you're getting nowhere in life. Anyone who would pick the former has no ambition and would probably be happy sucking the teet of government assistance.
Once you get to a certain age in life it's time to come to the realization that working for beer money isn't "cool" anymore. You can work 60 hours a week for a year or two for the experience and use it to move on to bigger and better things.
