San Francisco CA: Robbery Housing Costs Keeps Rising PDF Print E-mail


The City by the Bay becomes more and more infamous for its grossly overpriced rentals and real estate prices. Spurred originally by high salaries at tech companies, the average one-bedroom apartment rent now is $5k a month, and a small row home in the city sells for a million bucks.

Walking on city sidewalks requires stepping around or over many people, their belongings, trash and bodily droppings.
