Still too low in general.

Yes, I meant a room, _starting_ at $700. It is definitely not that hard to find. But ofc it won't come with all the luxuries that one might want.

I lived in SF from May last year to marry this year for $500/month in chinatown. Horrible building but great location and very affordable.
