Yelp CEO admits the cost of living in San Francisco is 'far too high' as one of his employees complains she can barely afford to EAT

The Daily Mail reports:
The CEO of Yelp has called on the city of San Francisco to lower the cost of housing after an employee complained they could not afford to work at the firm's headquarters.

Jeremy Stoppelman made his surprising dig at city leaders in response to the open letter from Talia Jane, who slammed the company's low wages.

She said she could barely afford groceries on a salary of $733.24 every two weeks, with rent a hefty $1,245 a month.

'Every single one of my coworkers is struggling. They're taking side jobs, they're living at home,' she wrote.
