Ah no, these friends are in Vancouver, Canada, where a 1BR in the poshest, yuppiest corner of town, in a new high-rise with a doorman, clubhouse, pool, sauna, jacuzzi, and glorious skyline view costs about $1100 a month. Considerably cheaper ($800?) if you take a roommate.
A similar apartment in SF (1BR, peaceful/yuppie corner of town, new building, lots of amenities, etc) would run in the $3500-4500 range.
Of course, most software jobs in that town would probably cause me an early death via falling off a tall building. Believe me, I've looked.

The cheapest 1BR I can find in Yaletown on craigslist is $1280/month -- for 397 square feet in a building constructed in 1912. Padmapper says that the median price for a 1BR in Yaletown is $1650/month.
- usaar333 15y agoI have never heard of a 1 bedroom in SF over $4,000. You can get a 1 bedroom with parking in the luxurious Infinity for $3,350.
