True, but consider that 70% of rentals in SF are rent controlled. It takes a couple emails from FB groups or Craigslist to find a good living situation for way below market rate.

Case in point: my friend that worked at Waymo paid $900/mo for a room in a house in Lower Haight...

900$/mo isn't necessarily below market rate. I lived by central park in manhattan for $1000/month, and I slept on the loft above my clotheshangers because it was basically a closet.
This is for sure below market...it’s been rent controlled for almost 10 years. Huge room in central Lower Haight. That place should go for at least $5500 between 3 people in a 3 bed/2ba.
