Side question: What is the current average rent per apartment in SF/SV? What's the current average income? This report from 04/2016 states around $118k/year for income, probably base, and $4,5k rent: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-04-05/san-franc... - What do you think - still up to date and realistic?

With a roommate and no rent control monthly cost is 1500-1800. For a studio ~2500. 1br closer to 3000. 3 bedroom homes for a family are easily 6k+.

If you are young and don't mind living with others or in small spaces you can save a lot here. This usually ends with children where families frequently move to cheaper locales like Austin.

SF: my 1br+parking is $2500 a month in the mission.
