I used to live in the Sunset district, rent was still high but dang it's just become robbery. I left the city last year, couldn’t justify the cost for a tiny space. Miss the city sometimes, but my quality of life is so much better now.

Same boat. I’ve been apartment hopping for a while now, chasing move-in deals. It’s tiring, but I save a bit on rent. Good luck, you’re not alone!

Time to think outside the box. Have you looked into co-living spaces? There's a few popping up around the city. They offer more affordable living with shared spaces. Not for everyone, but it's an option. Or maybe look into rent control laws, see if there's any loophole for you.

The tech boom's causing the rent to spike because companies are paying big salaries and landlords think we all make bank. Not everyone in tech is swimming in cash lol... We're feeling the pinch too.

What we need is a stronger tenants' union in SF. We can't just sit back while landlords hike up the prices every chance they get. Last time they tried that on me, I contacted the Tenants Union and got some solid advice. We need to organize and fight this together!

Welcome to SF, where your wallet's always on a diet, lol. Maybe it's time to invest in a tent? Just kidding... or am I? 😏

Have you considered getting a roommate to split the costs? Also, really look at your budget. Sometimes there are things we can cut back on to afford the essentials. I use a bunch of different budget apps to keep track. Not ideal, but better than being completely priced out.

Ugh, tell me about it. My rent went up by 10% last year, no improvements, no added amenities, just straight-up more expensive. I don't know how much longer I can hold on before I have to move out further from the city. 🙄
