since she lives in one of the most expensive areas in the country. The middle age people I know who live with roommates are not nearly as enthusiastic or up beat about it but are grateful they can stay in the bay area. My friends who grew up here but live in other, more affordable parts of the country are clueless about how expensive it's gotten to live anywhere in the greater bay area. Yes its a wonderful thing to be recently single, in your thirties and trying to afford bay area rents on the gradually diminishing purchasing power of your pay check. kudos to the author
