I very briefly looked at SF, and decided that if I were to work there, I would want to commute via Cessna.
Because at first glance, SF rents are so bad that learning to fly and owning a small aircraft isn't immediately obviously the more expensive option, like it would be in Europe.
I walk to work and buying a new car every year + gas + insurance + parking would be less than 10% of my income, whereas I would need to save for years to buy a plane and couldn't possibly afford the upkeep and storage here. So seems like a pretty silly comparison.
