1/2 roommates and private bath vs a dozen roommates and a closet...and we're talking about staying in SF here.

If I wanted to save money, I'd accept a half hour commute and get a room near a Bart station for half the cost.

This article is a total lie, unless these people are really bottom of the barrel idiots.

Ok fair enough. I'm in the bay area too and I think you're being very optimistic/unrealistic re half the cost, near a Bart station with only a half hour commute (assuming you work in SF).
