Sad as it is, I totally believe it. I've been looking at apartments in the Bay Area recently (trying to move out once I get a job probably) and haven't been able to find a studio for less than $2k/month ($24k/year). Oh you want to live in a decently nice area? Better be willing to pay...
Ayyyy dios mio! Comida que es caliente esta muy bien para su salud!
Translation: "Oh my god! Spicy food is really good for your health!". Everyone needs some Spanish in the morning, right guys? ..... guys?
