I feel like only someone from SF would find $2100 reasonable for a studio. To me that seems ludicrous in other cities. IME in Seattle, that's how much it would cost for a 2 BR apartment.

Additionally: 2100 * 12 = $25200. The general rule of thumb is don't spend more than 30% of your take home on housing. That means you need to make at _least_ $84000 dollars per year in take home. That hardly seems overstated. Would love to be proven wrong since I love the SF area and would love to live there. However, I cannot justify the costs because I do not make $84000 in take home.
