Yep. Lived on 14th and Lakeside all of last year. I have been stranded in SF multiple times. The trick is to not take Uber and pay cash.

Furthermore, unless you get stuck out multiple times a week half the rent cost still puts you way ahead. I was paying $1200 with parking for 800 sq ft and a dishwasher right on Lake Merritt. I never felt in danger there.

Living in Emeryville on San Pablo was another story... That was only $600 though ha.

QFT. The thousand-plus dollar difference in rent buys a heck of a lot of "I got stranded" Uber/Taxi rides.

Unless you need that rent difference because you make less money than a programmer.
