Does the $2k in Oakland include bars on the windows and an armed guard to escort you to and from your car? What a complete joke the bay area has become.

In 2000 I moved from Mtn. View to Arizona - was paying $750 for a 1BR near Rengstorff and El Camino. It's a great little community.

Rents are lower in Santa Clara, it isn't too far to drive either

largest problem with Peninsula is they don't build enough new housing per capita. The inflate prices this way.

Realtors are some of the most shady people. Beware.

yeah it is going to be tough as far as rent increases as companies are asking employees to come back to the office which means that they need to find living areas close to the campuses so that they can commute 1-4 hours on the day that they come to work, without any pay salary increases that would match the increases in rent prices. Hope that makes sense but rent situation would not be such a constraint if employees are not force to come back either fulltime to the office or 2-3 times a week as the cost of everything has increased and employees actually had to move to other cities to afford rent after the pandemic. now they have to shift their daily lives to make ends meet.

This report could have fooled me. It took forever to get a new decent tenant after the eviction last year. I would love to have people fight for my rental.

I live 5 minutes from the beach and pay less than $1000 for a 2-bedroom. Can't imagine this mess

One thing to allow prop 13 to enable people who actually occupy their homes to be able to reside where they live. It’s quite another thing entirely to allow people to have prop 13 tax liability alongside the highest tiered rent in the country! Any local leaders going to address this huge imbalanced canyon here? Anybody willing to speak of “unfair advantages” outside of men playing in women’s sports? Think of you’re born a couple of decades of prop 13 was passed and now your land lord has an extremely low tax bracket and you are paying extremely high rents.. that would be an extreme example of an unfair economic advantage in favor of anyone who was born at a certain time. And also 55+ communities are the only legal means to discriminate in the housing market. Economic Ageism indeed.. in favor of the older ones. These sorts of land lords better fix up every little thing with no mold etc or else that’s another issue entirely aka extortion

This is proves the people who say building more housing will decrease the rents due to supply and demand. Mountain View is the only city in Silicon Valley on track for their new apartment building goals for affordable housing, but now it's the most expensive place in the Bay Area. There needs to be fair rent control. You can't simply just build, build, build as you see people will just move from other places and flood the market again causing prices to soar

The schools in the city and county of SF are not good. Families that can't afford private schools in SF are moving to the suburbs.

I used to live in Mountain View. Prices were crazy & Sunnyvale also.

The population in the Bay Area is overcrowded. It's too concentrated and dense. More people mean more demand and competition for Owners and Renters. There is not enough space to accommodate the number of people looking for a place to stay.
