Wow yeah thats not even close. Numbeo says $3500

  $3500 is median asking price for a 1BR now.

    In SF yes, not the Bay as a whole (which is the cited area)

No, citywide this is a good number. Richmond district or south of Cesar Chavez things are a lot cheaper

"San Francisco area" from the BBC's perspective could include the larger Bay area

In downtown it's rare to find something under 4500 for an older beat up 2 bed.

  Short-term rentals on the border of southern Redwood City/Atherton & Menlo Park are going for $4-6k/mo for 1 bedrooms. Edit: Removed a cynical remark.

Kind of off topic, but does anyone know why the real estate around Twin Peaks is so much cheaper than surrounding areas? I know there's a bit of break-in crime at Twin Peaks, but the surrounding areas should be better, yeah? Is there that much of a weather penalty?

  Maybe because it's less accessible? The hills make it a pain unless you own a car.

  My Midtown Terrace house is over 750’ above sea level; though only a 15 min walk to Cole and a 20 min walk to Castro or Upper Haight. Still yet, prospective renters shudder when I say the words “easiest transit is the 36 Bus from Forest Hill Station.” Property Crime is only a problem on Christmas Tree Point and down on the East side terraced streets - Burnett/Corbett. The worst thing I’ve encountered personally in MT would be the coyotes that roam the night in the woods that appear occasionally on Marview or Farview. One wouldn’t think ~$4K a month for a 4 Bed 3 Bath fully detached single family house, split up amongst roommates, would have any hangups for people looking to rent in SF - though it’s been tough finding people who’re “ok” with the location. It’s for sure high up - I’ll give in to that. I indeed use the excess garage space to charge and house my Bolt EV for most trips outside of SF; though most of SF is ~$12 for uberX. I say, people can enjoy their overpriced $4000 (barely) one bedroom apartment in a “walkable” hood, next to a Philz and their favorite brunch place. I’ll join on foot after hiking on Mount Sutro. I’ll even pick up the tab - and indeed I work part time as a QA Engineer making a bit less than six figures annually. (Midtown Terrace is a illogical land use nightmare... a subdivision of fully detached single family homes on Twin Peaks.)
