People do it in NY, and their minimum wage is like 35% lower than SF, and the housing in many areas is way more.

That history stated above -- what do other readers think? Can you make a living in pizza in SF?
I find it odd that in the other thread you stated you knew of legal ways to live in nice San Francisco neighborhoods with no roommates for as low as $600 per month...without already having been here for years in a rent-controlled apartment. How this is possible you would not divulge.

Yet here you are asking if a pizza delivery man could afford living in San Francisco - which, clearly they could on $600 rent.

It seems you already know the answer to your own question.

Yes, I do. On several levels. One is that the question I pose here is a further (humorous) development of an exchange in another thread with Mayorhaggar -- which was dubbed "off-topic" so I created a topic in jest, but legitimate in its own right.

Two is that, obviously, and as Mayorhaggar has humorously acknowledged, people who live in SF can afford to work the pizza business at all levels -- else there wouldn't be pizza and delivery in the city.

Three, oh that how to live nice and cheap in SF? Well, thousands of people live as I suggest in California from Eureka to Sacramento to San Diego and many many many points between -- indeed by the tens of thousands across the nation. It is not a secret. And anyone with modest intelligence can figger it out for themselves, and do.

People are already moving over and gentrifying Oakland and other parts of the East Bay, which lets you know just how gentrified the city proper must be.

Yes, they can do it. By working that and several other jobs. I have friends who work about 80 hours a week on multiple of these "delivery-esque" jobs. Doubtful a pizza delivery salary is enough to live on alone.

I know multiple people who delivered pizzas, and they all lived with their parents. I'm sure there are also plenty of pizza delivery people who live on someone's couch, or rent space in a garage (I've had friends who have done both of those).

So yes, of course, you can live in SF making any amount of money. You can live in SF and be homeless. But if you want to have your own nice place in a nice neighborhood, probably not possible if you're making a very low wage.

Chinatown and areas of the Mission have areas where there's like 10 immigrant guys living in a small apartment, they just get bunk beds and sleep like 8 to a room. Those are the guys delivering your pizza and making your burritos.
