The sky-high cost of living in San Diego has forced some local workers to rent home across the border in dirt-cheap Tijuana while commuting between the two cities. Amy McEfee, who’s employed as a warehouse stock clerk in San Diego, used to pay $1,200 a month for a room in a house with four roommates in the Southern California city. Now, she pays just $400 for a one-bedroom apartment in the Mexican border town — commuting each day back into the US for work.
