Where do people who make less than 40k a year live in San Francisco?
I've been doing some research and noticed the pay rate for my job is the same in CA as it is in NC and SC. Now I would like for someone to explain how can someone who makes less than 40k a year, qualify for an apartment that is over 1500 dollars a month? Especially when they require you to make 3 times the rent!

i've lived and rented in san francisco for 20 years and the
answer to your question is that you can't quality for an apartment that is over $1500 a month and you wouldn't have enough to pay the rent anyway. the best (and probably only) option is to share an apartment with people who already rent it and have a lease. the best place to find 'share rentals' is on craig's list or on sites like roommates.com. there are many, many great rooms in shared apartments or houses (in decent neighborhoods) in san francisco for $600 or $700 per month. plus, if you're just moving to the city, it's a good way to make friends and expand your social network. if you're not the type to live with other people, the only option is to live in a cheaper suburb. oakland is the cheapest, closest, and most affordable option. public transportation from there is also easy (bart trains service most areas in oakland and san francisco). most of all, good luck and i hope you give it a try - sf is one of the best cities on earth!

Your can share the aparment and use your combined incomes. Or rent a room from a private party.

aint gonna happen.

That is not very much money. Are we talking about Burger King?

You would have to join the crowd and commute. Richmond would be about in hte right price range.


jeepdrivr
On the street. But at 40k, even that might not be affordable in SF. Do your job in SC and live like a king. Well, maybe a prince.

Get a roomate.

They don't live in San Francisco!!!

They might live in South San Francisco (calls itself the Industrial City), or possibly Burlingame (where the airport is located). Also, they might live in the East Bay, where there are more opportunities to find cheaper neighborhoods.

Alternately, it's likely that someone in that pay bracket would share housing with others...Perhaps a three-bedroom place split three ways.

QuestionWyrm
they all live together in one house.

Seriously, you need a couple of roommates.

Allen, I question the same thing in Los Angeles.

They have many roommates.

They are in a rent controlled building.

They have a long commute.

They are "sponsored."
