Silicon Valley may be the center of the tech world, but finding a place to live there can be tough.
Gentrification brought on by the tech boom has drastically driven up housing prices, so much so that the area has become unaffordable for many.
In Menlo Park, for example, home to Facebook HQ, the median rent for a one-bedroom apartment is $US2,300 a month.
