There is no number. It all depends on what you want out of the city and your expectations on lifestyle. Many people have a happy life with much less or much more than 110k in Oakland. I’d spend time there and determine if Oakland is a city you can see yourself in and be happy there as it’s unique
I make just a smidgeon above that and work/live right across the bridge (also single). I have many roomates and the living situation certainly isn’t glamorous. Other than those though, I’ve been able to live in pretty much in the same way I did when I lived in the south. In any case, I’d never use the word “struggling” to describe it.
That seems fine if you’re open to being carless, living in up and coming neighborhoods, cooking more than eating out. Just be sure to budget for higher taxes.
I’d like to live alone and it looks like rent for a studio is about 2300-2900. Can I get a place on my own in a safe neighborhood, close to stores in that range?
Yes. Unless you have very naive ideas of safe. You need to be on your toes anywhere in Bay Area, and comfortable living in a city that is gentrifying.
