Navigating a toxic work environment as a graphic/web designer in San Francisco

I recently found myself in a tough situation at my job as a graphic/web designer for a data-focused company in San Francisco. I've been here for about three months, earning $66,000 a year, which is decent for my age, but the work environment has been incredibly toxic. My boss, who is quite wealthy and owns another company, has treated me poorly and has created a chaotic work atmosphere. I've witnessed more people leave than join the team, and my boss is disorganized, often failing to check on projects and then blaming me for not caring enough when things go wrong. Additionally, I've been hit with unexpected costs, like paying $20 a day for parking because my boss refuses to move an unused vehicle from our parking spot. My pay schedule has changed from biweekly to monthly, and I’ve faced delays in receiving my paycheck. I've also had to deal with personal drama, as my boss made my only roommate quit due to a personal attack, and I've learned he continues to stalk her on social media. Despite all this, I do enjoy some aspects of my job, and living in San Francisco has its perks. I'm torn about what to do next. The job market for my role seems tough, and while $66,000 is a significant amount that helps support my girlfriend and family, I'm not happy here. I'm considering whether I should quit and seek new opportunities or stick it out for the time being. Any advice from those with more experience would be greatly appreciated.
