In what is hopefully just a satirical thought experiment, Curbed SF explores the financial benefit for San Francisco workers of living in Las Vegas and commuting to work in San Francisco. The short answer is the hypothetical working class hero saves $1,344 per month and lives in a larger apartment.
While the idea of living somewhere else to be able to work in San Francisco somewhat misses the point of contemporary urban planning, regarding humans as something other than labor-producing commodities, and the City of San Francisco itself (we work here because we like living here!), point taken: San Francisco is really, really expensive.
