Mountain View is just as expensive as Palo Alto. Ask for 80k and you might get 75k. The worst that can happen is they say no.
This is the average cost of rent in the area.

My company asked in my cover letter to put the desired salary range I wanted. They offered me 2k over what was my max of the range. I felt silly asking for more so I didn't.

What is your reasoning for thinking you deserve $75K (other than you want more money)? If you think a higher salary is justified because of valuable skills, prior experience, etc, I would definitely...

Neverr say you have other offers for $75K since they'll probably just tell you to go ahead and take the other offer. Find a way to justify your experiences and skills to them, perhaps some skills...

The cost of living in Sacramento is very cheap. 75k there is a lot of money and more comparable to a ~90k salary in Palo Alto or even more.
