i do not see how rents can stay so high if people are being so overtaxed just trying to pay for food and life. something has to give. san francisco is not so amazingly precious that it does not have to yeild to market pressure

$1968 for a 1 br? Better be one nice apartment.

Rents are more correlated with population and job growth (more closely correlated than owning, as renters move quicker than owners if the regional job market goes up or down).

Prices, well, they’re coming down no matter what people say about SF–it’s not worth Manhattan prices–and even Manhattan’s getting hit with the I-banks failing. Rents just provide some cushion if they’re rising. If they’re falling, well, look out below on the purchase price.

Now the $700 billion is to bail out who? No the renters, but landlords, yes with the renters taxes. Is not that a sweet deal?

So the next round of bailouts will be to help the renters? But wait a minute, have the City bailout the homeless?

Good law abiding citizen, please, one more effort Just one more effort, the Superbowl sorry for the anticipation, the World Series.

if renters will say “no” to high rents, realize their own power, then yes. Rents will have to go down
