I haven't been in SF in many years, but at least 15 years ago there were still loads of SRO (single-room occupancy) hotels that people lived in long-term. Typically you'd get a private room with a sink, a block of bathrooms per floor, and no kitchen facilities. Some of these hotels were straight-up crackhouses, but others were clean and peaceful places for people with very little money to live.
