As a side note I think this sale might be the same freezer we own, seems to be working fine.

This 14 cubic foot chest freezer stands out as a garage-ready, low-cost storage option with modest running costs. Insignia support lists about 282 kilowatt hours per year and an estimated annual operating cost of about $40, while another estimate puts it around $35 to $60 depending on local electricity rates. The main tradeoff is access and organization, since items can sink to the bottom and be hard to track without crates or bags. It suits buyers who want chest freezer capacity and can live with digging for stored food.
The freezer's estimated power use is about 282 kWh per year, which can translate to roughly $35 to $60 annually at typical residential electricity rates.
The freezer can be organized effectively using multiple milk crates, which helps make items easier to pull in and out.
The freezer can work for a cold-plunge setup, and one user described an easy installation plan under $1200.
The freezer can be used with a smart plug to cool only during low-temperature hours, which may help manage operating costs.
The freezer's operating cost estimates can vary widely because local electricity rates can be much higher than typical averages.
The freezer can be difficult to track and retrieve items because accessing items buried deeper may require emptying the unit.
The freezer's organization can come with wasted air space in a garage setup, based on one experience using both chest and upright freezers.
The freezer may require careful DIY conversion steps to avoid compressor overheating, including not covering the walls for heat exchange.

Many jobs adjust pay for HCOL and the benefits of living there are tremendous. You get what you pay for.
But anyway, CA is BIG and costs can vary wildly. It's not just SF, LA, SD (as the ravenous for-profit news outlets love to paint their craven narrative headlines with).
Right answer, convert it the right way and it'll be a good setup.
I went through the conversion and learned a lot, much the hard way.
My quick suggestions:
3M 5200 marine sealant on all seams - better than silicone, faster and cleaner than JB water weld
Plastic liner or pond shield to keep interior from rusting (warning, this is a process)
On first fill and any refills, use lots of ice to chill water - less stress on the compressor
Run a smart plug to only cool during low temp hours of the day
Use "oil filtering" sponge balls to help keep surface clean
You need a filter of some sorts. Ideally micron paper type.
Hydrogen peroxide to help keep bacteria at bay. I also use an underwater UV light
Don't cover the walls - they're used for heat exchange - it'll overheat and burn out your compressor.
Vinyl wraps are a good alternative for more finished look (won't trap heat)
If using outdoors, don't run when too hot outside
I love my plunge - this can get you a nice setup for about $500 done well
"creative" meaning = creative spending. It's important to be vigilant on budgeting and spending, and making sure necessities are clearly defined.
I didn't imply everything is thriving. I was saying that if you live there and engage with a site like Slickdeals then you are likely to be intentional with your spending and therefore creative with making ends meet.
Surely any State has their downtrodden areas, so using a fringe example like "Skid Row" isn't really representative of a state's ability to provide a positive life to its occupants.
tl;dr:
Those who exist there and are able to engage in intentional spending/budgeting can thrive quite well and benefit from the long list of perks that the State has to offer.
