> Likewise for SF, their estimate is $1250/month, which will rent you a garage or a converted living room with a curtain separating it from the kitchen in the far reaches of the city.

Jeez, this is a ridiculous estimate. I have a 2BR on the edge of downtown that has big bedrooms with bay windows, a solarium, a nice big kitchen with granite counters, quite a bit of living space, and the only downside is an old building.

Me and my flatmate each pay around $1300, BUT that's after 6 years of rent control. The last time I checked, market rent on this place was almost double what we pay. The idea that this is a normal price for anywhere else in SF is kind of silly.
