Disability in California is $750/month I believe. Transit sucks unless you're in a big big city. The bay area has excellent public transportation but it's extremely expensive there.

Rent in SF is about 4 grand for a crappy apartment on the outskirts of the city. If you go down to a place like San Diego you can maybe get down to around $2,500. I've never seen any place with decent public transportation offer rooms (not apartments) below $1,200 per month. I get just under $1,000 for disability from federal and state combined. It's not enough. Only reason I'm here is because I live with my family.

My room in Redwood City was $500/month. You can find cheaper places it's just a pain in the ass. San Francisco is the worst imo don't try to move there unless you're rich. But the rest of the bay area is feasible with roommates.

It's awfully expensive here. The California department of rehabilitation is decent and of course there's medi-cal coverage. Public transit kind of sucks. It's okay in the big cities like San Diego and LA but it is oh so expensive.

Agreeing with what everyone else says, I'm visually impaired myself and live in LA. Super expensive no matter what, but in big cities public transportation isnt terrible
