The weather is perfect, the produce is amazing and the cultural diversity is pretty nice. However:
According to the California Budget Project report, workers in the Bay Area (comprised of those cities surrounding the San Francisco Bay and their suburbs) face the highest cost of living in all of California, where a family with two working parents requires nearly $80,000 per year to afford the basics, excluding car, vacations and the cost of home ownership.
In the Bay Area, the report found that even a single adult requires $27,901 per year or $13.41 per hour merely to cover basic expenses. A single parent with two children in the Bay Area would need to make $62,969 per year, or $30.27 per hour, to cover the same expenses each year.

It was an era that defined a generation. The Great Depression marked the bitter and abrupt end to the post-World War 1 bubble that left America giddy with promise in the 1920s. Near the end of the 1930s the country was beginning to recover from the crash, but many in small towns and rural areas were still poverty-stricken. These rare photographs are some of the few documenting those iconic years in colour.

Also, the Great Depression, as its name clearly suggests, was in fact a gigantic buzz kill.
