$1.50 per hour for commuting roughly 12 miles
Let’s see toss in $8 for crossing the bay bridge, add in parking in downtown SF $10 that is $18 more per day expense for $12 more income.
I always lived close enough to walk to work in case the car broke down as commuting is unpaid overtime.
Calling in sick was more difficult if the bosses were driving around.
add in parking in downtown SF $10
A few seconds search turns this up (and I was surprised how cheap parking in San Frannie is based on a trip to LA several years ago.
"Average prices offered by SpotHero include $20–$32 for commuter parking, $18–$35 for weekend parking, $20–$40 for event parking, and $30–$50 for overnight parking"
and
"Some areas have demand-responsive pricing, which can put parking rates over $10 per hour"
You can park in SF for $10? I would've guessed more like $25 because signs in downtown Lexington, KY say park for $12.
Wow, where have you seen that in downtown SF?
Parking is at least three times that amount - but maybe now that most of the downtown businesses are closed and the parking lots taken over by dangerous drug-addled homeless who will smash your car windows out while you're gone, it is $10/hour.
