Forget about the gas prices in the Bay area, car prices are the highest in
the country.
Basic transportation like a Dodge Neon sells for nearly $100,000.
Even public transportation is expensive. Bus fare is $30 per bus stop.
To commute 2 miles costs over $100 a day.
There is even a walking fare in the Bay area.
You have to pay $5 a day just to use the sidewalk.
Stay in Corncob, Nebraska where prices are reasonable.
