$915/month for SRO. No special connections or status.

  Ah. SROs seem to have a reputation for extremely poor physical condition, predatory management, a high concentration of unstable and dangerous people with untreated mental illnesses as neighbors, and locations in rough neighborhoods like the Tenderloin. There seems to be a consensus that enduring long commutes, or just moving away, are preferable to living in those kinds of conditions. I've never heard of someone considering an SRO unless they had been previously homeless or institutionalized. Even the starving artists seem to prefer sharing apartments (or using former warehouse/factory space as apartments) in the less glamorous parts of the East Bay. I'd love to to live in a clean, safe, quiet, well-maintained SRO close to work at that price.
