Prohibitively high if you want to live in walking distance to your job. I work in SF, have a 15 minute commute, and pay a tiny amount for rent because I live in Oakland. Pretty easy to save.
- breckinloggins 13y agoI live walking distance to my job and live in the heart of San Francisco right next to BART. I pay very little money in rent. Patience on Craigslist pays off.
- PittedPrune 13y agoI would sure love to know what "very little" is to you. I have a hard time believing your rent is less than $1500, and I certainly wouldn't consider that "very little". Given how relative one's perception of costs can be, would you mind being a little more explicit about your rent?
- breckinloggins 13y agoIt's a little over half of that. And it was one of several places like that I found so I know it wasn't just "luck". It was not as simple as just "get on Craigslist and find something", though. I had to watch it carefully. EDIT: Just checked Craigslist and I can STILL find stuff for under $1000/mo in numerous places in SF. The trick seems to be looking under "rooms / shared" and also not expecting to find a place in Pac Heights ;-)
