Anecdotally, I know a gainfully employed senior engineer who was literally couch surfing with his wife and daughter for a month after losing their house. The excessive price of living caused by the housing shortage in the bay cannot be understated.
- spydum 12y agoI cannot fathom these prices.. Homes in tampa, fl go for 110/sqft on the upper end nowadays. It was in the 200s during the housing bubble..
- alva 12y agoridiculously cheap compared to London!
- pmoriarty 12y agoCompared to the worst neighborhoods in London? Because the Mission is one of the worst neighborhoods in SF. Also, please note the /sf (per square foot) of his price quote. I also thought it was way too cheap even for the Mission in SF, until I noticed the /sf.
- DanBC 12y agoThe sf means "square foot", which is a weird way of pricing somewhere. http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/Hackney.html#/property-to-rent/property-46315741.html http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/Hackney.html#/pr... This flat in hackney is £675 per week and is 1700 square feet. (That's £2925 per month, or $4678 per month). That price does not include council tax or utilities. Council tax at the lowest but full rate is £864.96 per month. That's roughly $1385 per month.
