$2k a month for a one-bedroom apartment is insane, that would buy a pretty nice pad downtown

Look.

Rent in San Fran is insane. You're trying to justify the insanity, not disprove the insanity. I ain't even getting into that. Fact of the matter is, fuckin' Bay Area rents are completely off the hook, which is why those who didn't grow up in million dollar houses are resentful. Buddy of mine paid $450k for a shithole bunker with razor wire off the Macarthur BART terminal in Oakland, which was f'ing insane until he sold it for $800k three years later. Not bad, considering the $450k came from his homegrocer.com severance package.

but people without a homegrocer.com severance package resent shit like that. Because the prices are insane. Because of the trust fund kiddies and their severance packages who say "I rent a room for $800, don't know what your problem is" and then act as if San Fran weren't a case study in class warfare.
