>It's been a while since I lived in the Bay Area, but has San Jose really surpassed San Francisco? Maybe it's because most of the cheaper more "suburban" areas near San Jose are Cupertino, Sanrta Clara, and Santa Cruz - cities in their own right whereas SF has a wide variety of rents within it's borders. (For example, outer sunset is much cheaper than SOMA.)
