[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear Lord!  5K for a studio? We have nothing on SF.[/quote]

Please.  That's still extremely expensive for SF.  You can find the same in NY but the vast majority of people aren't living in 5k studios. [/quote]

And?   You dont have that in DC.  Not to the same level.  And dont try to lie and say we do.. everyone knows we just dont. [/quote]

Never said that.  I find dc inexpensive.  But I don't think the question was about the [b]cost of real estate or rental rates.[/b]  [/quote]

But that's indicative of how out of touch it is.  The fact that only the privileged can afford to live there.  [/quote]

Exactly.  I'm a millennial.  I looked into moving into San Fran.  If you want to live alone, you are absolutely looking at spending $3000 monthly, studio or otherwise.  That's not a joke, it's not an exaggeration.

If you are willing to share with roommates, you may be able to find something as low as the $1600 dollar range.  But that's a maybe.

That effectively keeps out anyone who does not have a lot of money and is not, by nature of income, spoiled to a certain extent.

That kind of rent is not something we have to deal with in DC. [/quote]

So what's your point?   Have you ever lived anywhere expensive?  I lived in Manhattan and the rent you quoted seems reasonable.  Sf is a very small city with some high paying jobs.  There are plenty of other cities to live in the us.  [/quote]

I should think the point is fairly obvious.  This is not "reasonable" rent in SF- this is the base level, access point, bottom of the barrel.  You CAN find cheaper stuff in NY, and certainly in DC, but you really cannot in San Fran.  This is what makes it unusual. [/quote]

Yes it's unusual but does that mean it's out of touch??  Does expensive necessarily mean out of touch??  [/quote]

Certainly. [b] Especially when the only people you interact with are others who can afford to pay that kind of rent.  Not to be rude, but duh!-- [/b][/quote]
 
Thanks to the way the public school system in SF is set up, families who use the public schools (& I know several  relatively wealthy families who do) are actually much more likely than those in most other cities/areas to have regular interactions with an economically diverse grouo of people.[/quote]
