    There are lots of neighborhoods in SF where the rents aren't insane yet. Consider living in the outer Richmond or Sunset districts where you can still get large living spaces for decent prices. They aren't outside the city, but they aren't downtown either. It's almost purely residential out there, closer to the ocean and great access to Golden Gate Park and all the happenings there. Personally, I prefer those areas to the insanely expensive areas downtown where all the new developments are.

    • that's true...but prices have been rising there pretty rapidly as well. the other thing is that if you need to get into downtown, it will take forever.lvl_13
    • as the buses are sloooowwww and the N line makes too many stops.lvl_13
    • yeah, I took the 38 downtown from 35th Avenue for years ... it's about a 40 minute commute, but a pretty fun bike ridemonospaced
    • yeah, the bike trek wouldn't be too bad. mostly flat except for the one giant hill. I always just walked my bike over that.lvl_13
    • Yes, the hill that peaks at Van Ness is a bitch. :) I left SF about 9 years ago today, and I don't miss it THAT much.monospaced
