I live in SF and rent. Induction cooktops aren't as inherently expensive as the price implies: here in the US we don't really use them, so there's just little demand. When I went to buy my parents that induction stove, the bottom of the ranges offered were induction versions of the top non-induction stoves because they need the highest possible margins to justify the tiny market. Just an induction cooktop starts in the $700 range, when they start for less than half that in the UK. This could easily be the start of normalizing induction in the US, and that's not a bad thing.
