Anecdotal counter-point: my 3 friends and I split a spacious, sunny 4-bed in the mission for $6,000. So $1,500/person for a private room 15 minutes (by bicycle) from SoMa. The 'SF is so expensive that you should just live at-the-airport/in-vegas/on-the-moon and commute' argument is a bit overblown at this point.
- wgj 9y agoThere are many smaller hotels inside SF for $140/night or less. (That's the price the writer quotes for a nap station and shower at the airport.) But it's a false premise, and no one would do that long term. $1500/month is the going rate for a longer term room in many parts of the city, and if you look hard you can get closer to $1100 - 1200. Compared to sleeping in the airport these are good options. For $4K/month you have some very nice options in the city. I am baffled at what point the writer intended to make with the airport scenario.
