Solo living in the Bay?

Hi everyone! I’m curious to know if anyone is solo living in the Bay Area. If so, where? The HCOL is so worrisome as I’m also trying to thrive in my life and plan as much as I can for my future. Is anyone actually able to thrive here living solo or is living with roommates the only option? Would love to hear from folks who are making it work on their own in the expensive Bay Area. Thanks!
