I paid $3 for an entire baguette and that will make better toast than they could ever dream of.

well it sure would be nice to confront the force that centralizes economic activity, but i guess until then we can get REALLY OUTRAGED at $20 gallons of milk You guys ever seen grocery prices out at far flung arctic oil and fishing centers? At least in SF you have a lot going on too

There are tons of bottles of wine that cost well over $100 per bottle, or you can get a bottle of poo poo wine for $2. Some food and drink items are more expensive than others. So loving what.

And those bottles over $100 are for snobs who want to prove how refined they are and how little money matters to them, but then they taste little different than a $10-15 bottle. And again, the issue isn't that there's a sucker born every minute, it's that their lack of discrimination leads to them bargaining the prices of normal goods up for the rest of us, especially in the tech areas where all the socially awkward  s whose parents never taught them about money don't recognize that "I have another buyer already lined up" is a common sales tactic and since they can afford it they not only don't bargain, but will frequently bid up housing prices to get what they want based on "I can afford this thing I really really want", instead of shopping around or saying "that seems a little unreasonable", which is why average rents in LA are exceeding 50% of local median monthly income.

One of my friends is an autist tech nerd and despite making $90K+ a year he is consistently broke because he wastes away all his money on stupid poo poo like that. I can only imagine what happens when you get a bunch of them together and give them even more money. San Francisco and $20 cups of joe, I guess.

I love goon outrage over expensive versions of regular food. Like, sure some of the people regularly eating it are broke early-20s morons, but a large portion of people in SF make like $120k a year. It may shock you but 4 bucks for coffee and 4 bucks for toast is a tiny little drop in the bucket as far as their regular expenses go. poo poo I'm yuppy scum in Vermont and i still don't blink spending $15 on a weekday breakfast with locally raised horse-pressed quinoa or whatever the hell is cool these days. I know, I know, I could easily get cheaper calories at the old-rear end greasy spoon diner, but on the other hand gently caress off and eat your own food that you've spreadsheeted out to maximize your sadly earned, hard won buck.

I for one am looking forward to being priced into South Central Los Angeles when "Silicon Beach" really takes off. I've already moved out of one apartment when they decided that a >10% annual rent increase was perfectly reasonable.

It may shock you but 4 bucks for coffee and 4 bucks for toast is a tiny little drop in the bucket as far as their regular expenses go. It's $20 for coffee. And that's 5k a year in coffee if you drink it every day. Also, median rent in SF is 3500 for a one bedroom. Even if you're making 120k a year that's rough. I make a comfortable above-median-for-LA salary and I spend some of my money on stupid poo poo without it really digging into my normal expenses. I also recognize when I'm being fleeced and say "nope, enough is enough". I also recognize that when people don't do that, it drives prices up for other things as landlords and other store owners see extra disposable income and say  "hey, I gotta get mine too!"  then it ends up affecting even the people who aren't making those comfortable salaries. Am I salty? A bit, but my old landlord (a rental properties company from Texas  ) raised my rent almost 15% this year because of that perception and the FYGM attitude. (And possibly because of the whole foods opening down the street). For less than what they were asking for a shithole in a bad neighborhood abutted to a busy highway in northeastern Orange County, I got a slightly smaller but still decent two bedroom on the west side just a few minutes from the beach with a local landlord.

I went to Joel Robuchon's and ordered the $40 scallop dish and I figured it'd be 2 pounds of scallops since they're about 18 bucks a pound at the store so imagine my surprise when my meal showed up and it was only one scallop. I screamed "scallops are only $1 each at the grocery" as I forced broken shards of my dinner plate down the throat of Joel, after having shoved the lone scallop directly up his rear end.
