The "forget having a kid" in San Francisco thing is a serious issue. If you have rent control, great. But if in 5-10 years you want to have a family, it's not like you're going to be able to move to an apartment whose price is equal to: ((current rent under rent control from 10 years ago)/(current number of rooms))(current number of rooms + 1) Instead it's going to be: (current number of rooms + 1)(current rent per room in SF when you decide to move) In other words, if you don't lock in an extra room now and sublet it until you decide to start a family, then you're shit out of luck.
