That's really not that much. Won't pay for a 1 bedroom apartment in San Francisco, especially after gas and groceries.

Maybe SF is not a tenable place to live anymore for ___%?

Maybe they will be inconvenienced by forced relocation?

Maybe no-one is entitled to continue living today the way they did yesterday?

Maybe some people can neither afford to move nor live in their apartment and will end up homeless. The people having the hardest time living in SF are the people we now call "essential workers" and "heroes" for doing the jobs we all depend on to survive. What exactly do you think happens to the city of San Francisco when all the "essential workers" are forced to move away or are homeless?

Unemployment in FL maxes out at $275/week. Digest on that for a while.
