Fresno? Why does that amuse me so much?
I'm guessing Stamford has got to be due proximity to NY.

I like saunas, but I can't bear steam rooms. Makes me feel like I can't breathe.

Okay, NY, SF, Boston -- just pricey cities to live in, due to geography and history. San Diego, LA, well, at least they're big cities. San Jose, smaller city, but there's the whole "we hold conferences here all the time and gouge the tourists" factor, perhaps. Stamford, Santa Barbara -- rich places, quasi-suburbs.
But Bakersfield? Fresno? Why? I mean, I only have reports from an acquaintance who loathed Fresno with every fiber of her being (and had nothing at all to say about Bakersfield), but that's kind of bizarre.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We're number one! We're number one!
I'm a little surprised Boston wasn't higher, too.

Fresno? That's a surprise.
And Bakersfield is even higher. Your paycheck goes farther in LA than Bakersfield?

And 8 of those cities are in CA. I'm a little surprised that DC isn't there.

I don't know why I find this amusing, but I do.

I think they're comparing income to cost of living, no? So even if it's not expensive to live in Bakersfield, you can't make any money there, either.

What Jesse said. Bakersfield is just a big flat nothing in the middle of the desert. If you're a teenager about to enter the job market in Bakersfield, your best bet is probably to move the hell away from there.
