@C Burch this matter of homelessness that has spread across the country has nothing to do with selected parties of politics, it's plain and simple corporate greed.
It’s going to take EVERYONE moving out of SF, and their city literally being vacated and taken over by homeless for them to wake up and change things. I hope it happens soon.
The Car Products Review 1.0 I seriously doubt that! Most of the people that can afford this rent or properties are foreign investors (China) who need somewhere to park there money! There is not enough start millionaires who make up the loss caused by a mass exodus from San Francisco. It would be a ghost town of homeless people.
Hobos are now the primary residents of SF. Lol. Did anyone watch that South Park where all the hobos in the country went on a migration to California? So accurate.
@NorCal Rider Sure I am, not the people in the skyscrapers or ones calling the shots. It's the layman's fault a geographically advantaged city is rotting by its own policies. Also, the shit tsunami was a joke, San Fran will likely collapse under its own economy and send its undesirables to healthy cities.
@NorCal Rider Most of those people lobby their way into satisfaction, and I doubt they suffer from any mistake they do, or much less interact with people like us. They're disconnected. They're clueless. They're opportunists. Their ideology and reasoning is why San Francisco is such a laughing stock.
Agree. That's why you are not forced to live there. You have a choice; if you don't like the price of a product/service you can decline it. It's as simple as that.
Frank Lange could you imagine if the guy actually went through with the 8,000 a month rent? That landlord would be getting rich while Laughing at the guys misfortune. It’s a sad world we live in.
Its expensive because of the tech giants and millions of their employees who make 6 figures The rent is not coming down unless 1: SF goes bankrupt like Detriot 2: The tech gaints offshore their operations to 3rd world countries Ain't nobody giving a shit about homeless poor people
You don't actually "own" anything in this country, just stop paying the taxes on "your" home that you "own" & see how long it stays yours. infinite domain is also still a thing.
Sf? These tenants are absolutely crazy. Who tells them nowhere is cheaper? Where I come from you can rent a nice 2br apt for 400 to 650, I even had a 3br house for 700 a month. Those west coast landlords are greedy and their own greed will finally cost them. All things balance out sooner or later.
Yeah. It’s kind of ridiculous that as a renter he thinks owners don’t have a right to charge market value for his rent. 8k is nuts but if that is what the market is then he needs to know that’s the downside of renting.
Casey Even Google engineers don’t make that much. You’d have to have some kind of upper management position to afford something like that. I mean, if you’re operating off the idea that you should be spending 25-33% of your income on rent at most, you’re looking at a minimum salary of $290,000 a year after taxes. That means whoever lives there would have to make about $500,00 a year before taxes. The craziest thing about all this is that it’s a relatively run down, non modernized building. I think it’s partly the ridiculous SF housing market and partly this landlord way overvaluing what they’ve got.
The fact that he was paying 1800 a month for six years is fishy as hell. That place would have gone for 5k a month easy 6 years ago. Sounds like an incompetent land lord and a lucky tenant. His luck just ran out when she finally woke up to the value of that apartment.
The apartment was on rent control. So quite likely the landlord thought the original tenant on the lease resided in the unit. Once it was established that he was not named in the lease, it was Game Over.
I'm so fortunate, when I was subletting my building's manager *convinced* me to put the lease in my name. I thought they were trying to trap me but I did it anyway. 20 years later rents are 4 times what I pay. But I'm protected from this type of situation. THANK YOU building manager!!!
@@MK-hh1vo Can you imagine if that guy hadn't looked out for your best interest where you would be now. Do you still know him, or have you ever contacted him to thank him for what he did for you. Honestly, if it were me, this Christmas I'd send him one hell of a nice gift card If I knew where he was. If not alive, then a nice not to closest family member.
How in the heck is this legal? No wonder CA is becoming tent city. He's not going to find that $1800 rent anywhere in the state. This is how tent & car dwellers are made. No drugs or mental illness neccessary.
The exact opposite. There are so many people in California living for free because they can. People come there from other states (and other countries, lol) because it is easier to live there as a bum.
@Mason Moore there is always a fool like you that has a limited understanding of reality. I will charge whatever rent I want for the property THAT I OWN
In BC Canada, rent is only allowed to be raised by an amount equal to the years inflation rate, about 2-3%. It can only be raised once a year even if you kick out the tenant and get a new one, so landlords actually go out of their way more to keep a tenant from leaving.
@@JustBree716 Look out rents will be skyrocketing everywhere because of government demanding retrofitting houses , yes existing houses, to 0 energy footprint, ( or whatever it is called) and will cost at least $100,000 per retrofit. Raising rent will be the only way to recover costs. We need to be more careful who we vote for.
There are 60 vacancies in my town. More up the road. How can landlords carry those kinds of vacancies??? And the rent isn’t coming down and hundreds in move in fees all non refundable.
I live in Minneapolis and a 3 bedroom apt here would be almost 1800 for San Francisco that’s extremely low, he should be happy he got to live for that cheap there while he did
Dogsoldier 1950 sadly, many of the people who are upset about the price of rent are the same people who took advantage of property value and sold their homes
Housing shortages are caused by lazy people. The housing is there. PAY for it. We have employees working 2 or 3 jobs. But they're not sucking on the welfare / housing teat.
The federal government needs to get involve and start investigating these city councilmen and city officials into briberies with these real estate companies and landlords. This is illegal in some states it should be illegal all across America.
Guys wake up and smell the coffee. I'm on SSI and it's my only source of income. I live in Burlingame- not SF- and the Housing Authority just raised my rent 40% ( fourty percent ! ) because I got a cost of living increase! With garbage like this I'm gonna be homeless again in 2 years.
$8000 in north beach sounds about right especially for 3 bedroom. Its a nice area. San Francisco is a costly place. If u cant afford it then dont complain abt it
@Chris Kibodeaux why is living in converted van stupid?. Oh wait, it's your own opinion. a child needs some one to take care of them, as you are. I am sure you scream at your mother when your laundry has not been 100% fresh and clean also don't forget to mention diner while she's doing your laundry.

this happened to my aunt, except it was a restaurant, it went from 6K a month to like 15K a month, so she decided to retire. She was in business for like 30 years...
+Shelly Sage Absolutely agree! This is all ridiculous! I'm a native of the area and I can't move home at all due to the rent forcing me out, and seeing what's happening to all the good people back home like this man REALLY pisses me off! It's a CITY, not a TECH BUSINESS BUILDING! Soon or later, this HAS to give. Friends all tell me it's gotten so horrendous that the city can't even function properly as a city anymore; Burger Kings, WalMarts, etc. all shuttering because there's no longer the local population to support them. But this happened to Detroit once, and history stories that in situations like this the bubble will burst, forcing everything back down. The unnerving question is... WHEN? And why can't it be soon enough to help this poor man, who had a really nice spread there? That's a really pretty place! Why should he lose it to greed? Sorry to rant, it just all pisses me off so damn much.
I agree w/ all of this. You don't have to be sorry. I just hate to see good quality residents be run out by this fucking extreme wealth/extreme poverty rent system!
UPDATE? So what happened to this guy living in the unit? Is he still there? This was uploaded 3 years ago. I searched around online and found no updates about this guy and the unit. Any news?
Don't know if you're still checking in. I just came across this clip and went looking for an update. Finally found an article about him older than June 2016. Mr Hutchinson was included in an article about how Covid-19 was affecting people being able to maintain income & so they wouldn't end up homeless & how different city & state governments were putting a moratorium on rent & mortgage payment. Unfortunately Mr Hutchinson was evicted from that 3 bedroom apt where his rent was raised to $8,000. The landlord was also asking for a $16,000 security deposit. Below is a blurb from the 2020 article that mentioned Hutchinson: Neil Hutchinson, a 52-year-old stagehand based in Oakland, usually has a busy spring: The Game Developer’s Conference comes to San Francisco in March, Google’s Cloud Next conference comes in April, and Facebook’s big F8 conference comes to San Jose in May. In between, he gets calls to come help with smaller shows and events. As the conferences got canceled or postponed one by one on account of coronavirus concerns, Hutchinson got increasingly worried about paying rent on his apartment. In-person concerts dried up, too. By the end of the season, he expects to lose $10,000 in income. “If this goes on longer than June, the outlook is pretty bleak,” he said. For many people like Hutchinson, the low-grade fear of getting the Covid-19 virus has been compounded with an urgent sense of economic anxiety. Under the states of emergency being declared in an increasing number of localities, large events have been canceled, public transit has been less crowded, bar and restaurant workers are losing out on tips and entertainers have had shows closed. In expensive coastal cities, where people can pay more than 30% of their income on housing, missing even one paycheck can mean falling behind on rent. And falling behind can mean getting evicted. "Three years ago, Hutchinson, the stage-hand, says he was evicted from his San Francisco home after a rent increase of more than 300 percent, and has been moving from lease to lease ever since. Since he lives in Oakland, this eviction moratorium won’t cover him.“The income inequality in this area, that’s a disaster in itself,” he said. “We could have used this a long time ago.”
It's those big corporations like Apple, Google etc the reason for the huge increase.... $8,000 a month is way out of hand... I'd rather pay that for operating a business that in return will profit me more and not give it away to an old out of style looking building...
Pulling shit like this _isn't_ going to attract the mega-rich that you want at the rate you want it, SF city council. It'll just create more homeless to _repell_ those mega-rich folks. Worst part is that the boneheads don't see that and just keep on raising rent rates.
Newsom signed a new law capping rent increases in California starting in 2020, so landlords are retaliating by raising rents as they will not be able to raise it again. Only no more then 5% per year. Hope this guy fights it as it's wrong. $1800 to 8000!
rich people always want to move in where it's cool and hip and up and coming, poor hipsters beware! once you open up cool coffee shops, hip dining spots the yuppies all try to move in driving prices of property up.
no such thing as a poor hipster. all of them are rich. some are just richer than other. they price out black people and then get priced out by richer white people
They all moved here cuz “it’s cool” but they made it uncool and displaced all the locals that work the jobs to cater to them; cafe/restaurant workers, house cleaners, retail workers, etc. the city doesn’t have enough lower wage workers anymore and too many millionaires.
this is when it has to stop...!!!.....Rent everywhere is going through the roof!!...remember if everyone stops paying they will take anything rather than nothing......IT HAS TO STOP
I live in NZ and we are facing these same problems,no homes to rent and crazy prices If You can find anything to rent! Heartbreaking when you end up homeless from someone else's greed!
Someone else's greed? your the greedy one not wanting to pay the rent you go buy property and rent it out cheap so everyone can have a cheap place to rent then
@@endoftherope I agree with you 1000%. As Margaret Thatcher famously said, “the problem with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money“. People seem to think that a landlord‘s private property is a “public good“ that they are entitled to. The reality is that it is private property. The rental rate for that private property is determined by local supply and demand. If the rental rates were collapsing in that locality, and if a tenant were to demand a reduction in the rent because rents all over the city were decreasing, will the tenant be accused of being greedy? Or would the public smile on that tenant and recognize that he/she was simply being savvy and taking advantage of the opportunity presented by the laws of supply and demand? The answer is that so long as the landlord is getting screwed, then the requested change in the rental rate is a smart and shrewd demand. But if the tenant gets screwed by the same law of supply and demand, then the landlord is an evil villain who deserves to be deprived of his property rights. This two-faced hypocrisy is intolerable.
Destiny tran the landlord isn’t greedy. If he’s been paying only $1800 per month in a market rent area of $6000 then he’s been living at a steep discount for a while
He's being ridiculous if the person that owns it says thats the price pay it or go...hes not gonna be homeless. He can afford to leave. If he does not like it...he needs to stop being a renter!

Interesting POV, once you rent you--in your opinion--are forever obligated to provide housing for your tenant. Hmmm, so fewer people therefore rent making fewer places to live, causing more people to not afford to stay in the city. Yeah, great plan.

2 Lit no. Jobs in the area adapt to the cost of living..let’s say my job gets me $85,000/yr and I get relocated there. They would raise my salary to maybe $120,000/yr while I performed the same job with the same responsibilities. Everyone there is getting paid mire.
Alex's Gmail just because you get paid more doesn’t negate the fact that the Bay is overpriced. $8k a month in rent? That’s $96k a year. So Making $120k/year you would STILL be living damn near at or below the poverty line
Where the heck do you live? I just got evicted from my rent controlled SF studio where I've been for 20 years. All due to corrupt and greedy big landlord.
I live in Toronto Canada now (yet another very expensive city). After my parents were divorced, I used to go spend my Summers with my dad in the 1980's as a little boy in Burlingame Cali. I remember how beautiful SanFran was back then. One of the most beautiful cities in the world back then. Sad to see what the city has become. They recently got rid of rent control in Toronto and slowly the same thing is starting to happen here with a lot of homeless. Scary times and I hope people find a way through it
Lol, cant tell people not to move, i wouldnt move there myself sinse its overcrowded and expensive, but you have no right telling folks not to move, when all they want is a better life! Lets see how youd feel if you wanted to move out of state and someone used the same comments to you.... Yeah thats right.
Why? No on deserves to live anywhere. I want to live in Beverly hills but I cant afford it. Should Beverly hills have to build "affordable housing"? No. It's obvious he can afford to live in San Francisco anymore. There's nothing wrong with that it's just reality. Life isn't fair furious
I have said it before, if it doesn't effect them they really don't care. This is going to cause a real problem very soon. No one will be able to live in these places. You will see a lot of shanty towns popping up
Rent control would be o.k if when repairs need to be made, unit is destroyed by tenant, tenant doesn't pay rent and GOVERNMENT pays, AND IF utilities don't go up and property taxes aren't raised, then I as a landlord would vote for rental control, if not I would sell my rentals to home buyers and let the renters go to hell looking for a few less rentals to live in!!
Should San Francisco even be considered a city anymore? It's more like an exclusive suburban town. Maybe we should start calling the metro area the San Jose-Oakland Bay area.
Thid is so sickening! People are so freaking greedy! There are so many homeless people in our country because of awful, heartless landlords like this poor guy's landlords.
How do the newscasters make rent in that area? They can't be getting paid more than the techies. And even the techies have trouble making rent. From $1800 to $8000? What the hell is this? They should have given him advance notice and 1 year to move out. Also, that building is a city inspector's nightmare. Look at the wiring hanging and the building edifice. He should counter-sued for hazardous living conditions with the owner's intent to burn down the building by electrical fire and collect on the insurance. I bet the building is infested with rats who will wreak havoc on wiring insulation, PVC drain lines, and AC ducts.
@@C.I.A.Retired I'm saying this renter should care! He should rent out the other two bedrooms to cover the increase in rent. I think the increase in rent is definitely fair with what I know of the SF market and he got a sweetheart deal this entire time at $600 per bedroom. That's my valid point.
@@C.I.A.Retired LMAO. Ok how about I kick you out of "your" house, Dana, and say it's because I want to live alone and make it "my" house now.

This is one of my top favorite comment threads for sure you guys are awesome. San Francisco, Berkeley, and Oakland all used to be really cool fun great places to live up until maybe around 2003 i would say. The big time developers were apparently pretty strategic in their slow but thorough hijacking of our city councils. The majority of them are not from the area they just went to college here and don't recognize the soul of a town and only care about one thing being greens bills dividends, said in a Chris Tucker accent. Over the course of the last 15 years Berkeley has just been completely destroyed by a handful of people and will never be the same again but I'm happy to have lived there through the 80s and 90s they were the best.
This has got to stop hard working people are being put out on the street its impossible to live in your own place with out five other people at least come on this isnt Japan its America. My heart goes out to you my friend it greed and nothing but greed I have one word for this Karma!
Landlord completely in the right on this instance. Costa hawkings law. He is not the original tenant and even though he submitted an application it doesn’t mean he signed an official lease. Therefore the landlord can bring it up to market. That said if market rate was 6500 give or take, the landlord was greedy to make it 8k+
He is in a city where the average one bedroom runs for 3,300.00$. He had it good. He now needs to see what he can find in San Francisco for 1,800.00$. The landlady wouldn't be raising the rent to 8,000.00$, if there were no takers.
Jesus... My husband and I paid $650 per month for a decent sized 2 bed, 1 bath apartment. The kitchen was a pretty good size and the bedrooms were bigger than other bedrooms in your typical apartment. Our living room was nice and we had a big back porch with a backyard.

I mean, if you’re operating off the idea that you should be spending 25-33% of your income on rent at most, you’re looking at a minimum salary of $290,000 a year after taxes. That means whoever lives there would have to make about $500,00 a year before taxes. The craziest thing about all this is that it’s a relatively run down, non modernized building. I think it’s partly the ridiculous SF housing market and partly this landlord way overvaluing what they’ve got.

lol I pay $450
Yeah I thought that was pretty cheap too, but not 8000$ that’s just unfair
The fact that he was paying 1800 a month for six years is fishy as hell. That place would have gone for 5k a month easy 6 years ago. Sounds like an incompetent land lord and a lucky tenant. His luck just ran out when she finally woke up to the value of that apartment.
💯
The apartment was on rent control. So quite likely the landlord thought the original tenant on the lease resided in the unit. Once it was established that he was not named in the lease, it was Game Over.
What's lucky about $ 1800 a month?
His biggest problem is he's actually not the tenant.
"You play, you pay" comes to mind.
Right! So ur subletting and now he’s not gonna have a case !
I'm so fortunate, when I was subletting my building's manager *convinced* me to put the lease in my name. I thought they were trying to trap me but I did it anyway. 20 years later rents are 4 times what I pay. But I'm protected from this type of situation. THANK YOU building manager!!!

How in the heck is this legal? No wonder CA is becoming tent city. He's not going to find that $1800 rent anywhere in the state. This is how tent & car dwellers are made. No drugs or mental illness neccessary.
It cost so much to live in Cali an that’s why there’s so many homeless
Homelessness has to do with drug addiction, very little to do with the overpriced housing, because people who actually make money will relocate.
***URBAN California
Dj Sickbeatz that’s false on so many levels. You need to do your research
Nathan Westfall you’re an idiot. Plain and simple.
The exact opposite. There are so many people in California living for free because they can. People come there from other states (and other countries, lol) because it is easier to live there as a bum.
rents today are criminal
@Mason Moore there is always a fool like you that has a limited understanding of reality. I will charge whatever rent I want for the property THAT I OWN
In BC Canada, rent is only allowed to be raised by an amount equal to the years inflation rate, about 2-3%. It can only be raised once a year even if you kick out the tenant and get a new one, so landlords actually go out of their way more to keep a tenant from leaving.
That's interesting. I live in upstate NY and I've been in my house for 11 years and have only had one increase.
@@JustBree716 Look out rents will be skyrocketing everywhere because of government demanding retrofitting houses , yes existing houses, to 0 energy footprint, ( or whatever it is called) and will cost at least $100,000 per retrofit. Raising rent will be the only way to recover costs. We need to be more careful who we vote for.

I rented a ground floor 3 bdroom flat in noe valley off sanchez in the late 80s for 1000, with 2 garage spots and garden access
I live in Minneapolis and a 3 bedroom apt here would be almost 1800 for San Francisco that’s extremely low, he should be happy he got to live for that cheap there while he did
RneckFN not everyone wants to live in south Dakota or some unknown state 😂
3 bedroom house in the California city I'm from is about $1,200 a month. It's just outright greed by the land lords.
Housing shortages are caused by government policy. Keep that in mind when you vote
Yep. Seen stories about the city jacks with developers in SF. They made the bed, now they’ll have to move it out.
Dogsoldier 1950 sadly, many of the people who are upset about the price of rent are the same people who took advantage of property value and sold their homes
Housing shortages are caused by lazy people. The housing is there. PAY for it. We have employees working 2 or 3 jobs. But they're not sucking on the welfare / housing teat.
dobie gal are u saying that people who live there have to work 2-3 jobs or else they are lazy?
This. Cities want their tax revenues so they approve more office construction permits than housing construction permits. This is what we get.
8K for an appartment.
1.) Land Lady is greedy as shit.
2.) Who's going to pay that much for an apartment in a shitty city like SF.
The federal government needs to get involve and start investigating these city councilmen and city officials into briberies with these real estate companies and landlords. This is illegal in some states it should be illegal all across America.
Guys wake up and smell the coffee. I'm on SSI and it's my only source of income. I live in Burlingame- not SF- and the Housing Authority just raised my rent 40% ( fourty percent ! ) because I got a cost of living increase! With garbage like this I'm gonna be homeless again in 2 years.
How long did he really think he was going to keep getting $1800 for a 3 bedroom with a bay view. 🤣
I totally agree, the gravy train was eventually going to run out!
Rent should be raised gradually, not immediately tripled.
Rebecca Lopez Probably why he didn’t pursue finding out if he had been added to the lease. It didn’t slip his mind. He didn’t want to be discovered.

UPDATE? So what happened to this guy living in the unit? Is he still there? This was uploaded 3 years ago. I searched around online and found no updates about this guy and the unit. Any news?
Don't know if you're still checking in. I just came across this clip and went looking for an update. Finally found an article about him older than June 2016.
Mr Hutchinson was included in an article about how Covid-19 was affecting people being able to maintain income & so they wouldn't end up homeless & how different city & state governments were putting a moratorium on rent & mortgage payment. Unfortunately Mr Hutchinson was evicted from that 3 bedroom apt where his rent was raised to $8,000. The landlord was also asking for a $16,000 security deposit. Below is a blurb from the 2020 article that mentioned Hutchinson:
Neil Hutchinson, a 52-year-old stagehand based in Oakland, usually has a busy spring: The Game Developer’s Conference comes to San Francisco in March, Google’s Cloud Next conference comes in April, and Facebook’s big F8 conference comes to San Jose in May. In between, he gets calls to come help with smaller shows and events. As the conferences got canceled or postponed one by one on account of coronavirus concerns, Hutchinson got increasingly worried about paying rent on his apartment. In-person concerts dried up, too. By the end of the season, he expects to lose $10,000 in income.
“If this goes on longer than June, the outlook is pretty bleak,” he said.
For many people like Hutchinson, the low-grade fear of getting the Covid-19 virus has been compounded with an urgent sense of economic anxiety. Under the states of emergency being declared in an increasing number of localities, large events have been canceled, public transit has been less crowded, bar and restaurant workers are losing out on tips and entertainers have had shows closed. In expensive coastal cities, where people can pay more than 30% of their income on housing, missing even one paycheck can mean falling behind on rent. And falling behind can mean getting evicted.
"Three years ago, Hutchinson, the stage-hand, says he was evicted from his San Francisco home after a rent increase of more than 300 percent, and has been moving from lease to lease ever since. Since he lives in Oakland, this eviction moratorium won’t cover him.“The income inequality in this area, that’s a disaster in itself,” he said. “We could have used this a long time ago.”
Maybe she can now afford the updates on the building
$8,000 a month! Wow.

inboxnews thief's
for a 3 bedroom in a GREAT neighborhood with views of the water....and it is probably closer to $10,000 now (2018)
It's those big corporations like Apple, Google etc the reason for the huge increase.... $8,000 a month is way out of hand... I'd rather pay that for operating a business that in return will profit me more and not give it away to an old out of style looking building...
Pulling shit like this _isn't_ going to attract the mega-rich that you want at the rate you want it, SF city council. It'll just create more homeless to _repell_ those mega-rich folks. Worst part is that the boneheads don't see that and just keep on raising rent rates.
Newsom signed a new law capping rent increases in California starting in 2020, so landlords are retaliating by raising rents as they will not be able to raise it again. Only no more then 5% per year. Hope this guy fights it as it's wrong. $1800 to 8000!
That apartment is nasty. 8k rent wtf
I would love to know who can afford ALL that high rent in SF...when American jobs pay shit for wages
.
From $1800 to $8000? Wow! Who the fuk can afford that?
So what is the update for this in 2019 ?!
2016: He got kicked out.
2017: New renters pay $8,000 a month.
2019: They get kicked out.
2020: New renters now pay $12,000 a month.

Someone else's greed? your the greedy one not wanting to pay the rent you go buy property and rent it out cheap so everyone can have a cheap place to rent then
@@endoftherope I agree with you 1000%. As Margaret Thatcher famously said, “the problem with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money“. People seem to think that a landlord‘s private property is a “public good“ that they are entitled to. The reality is that it is private property. The rental rate for that private property is determined by local supply and demand. If the rental rates were collapsing in that locality, and if a tenant were to demand a reduction in the rent because rents all over the city were decreasing, will the tenant be accused of being greedy? Or would the public smile on that tenant and recognize that he/she was simply being savvy and taking advantage of the opportunity presented by the laws of supply and demand? The answer is that so long as the landlord is getting screwed, then the requested change in the rental rate is a smart and shrewd demand. But if the tenant gets screwed by the same law of supply and demand, then the landlord is an evil villain who deserves to be deprived of his property rights. This two-faced hypocrisy is intolerable.

The big time developers were apparently pretty strategic in their slow but thorough hijacking of our city councils. The majority of them are not from the area they just went to college here and don't recognize the soul of a town and only care about one thing being greens bills dividends, said in a Chris Tucker accent. Over the course of the last 15 years Berkeley has just been completely destroyed by a handful of people and will never be the same again but I'm happy to have lived there through the 80s and 90s they were the best.
This has got to stop hard working people are being put out on the street its impossible to live in your own place with out five other people at least come on this isnt Japan its America. My heart goes out to you my friend it greed and nothing but greed I have one word for this Karma!
Hope that ladys greed backfires in a way it makes her homeless.
Take your ass to the projects...
Landlord completely in the right on this instance. Costa hawkings law. He is not the original tenant and even though he submitted an application it doesn’t mean he signed an official lease. Therefore the landlord can bring it up to market. That said if market rate was 6500 give or take, the landlord was greedy to make it 8k+
He is in a city where the average one bedroom runs for 3,300.00$. He had it good. He now needs to see what he can find in San Francisco for 1,800.00$. The landlady wouldn't be raising the rent to 8,000.00$, if there were no takers.
Can't blame the Landlords they have been TAXED so much too. Keep voting people who only wants increased rather than cuts.
Jesus... My husband and I paid $650 per month for a decent sized 2 bed, 1 bath apartment. The kitchen was a pretty good size and the bedrooms were bigger than other bedrooms in your typical apartment. Our living room was nice and we had a big back porch with a backyard. BUT we live in Alabama, so... yea. We just bought a nice house for $158,000. Seems like that might get you a nice closet in San Francisco.
Move out, leave Cali; seek freedom elsewhere.
Bakersfield
My thoughts exactly,without the middle class in time that city will suffer
@@beemanseawa8726 everyone in the bay area and la region should get out anyway. There will be an 7.9 or higher with major aftershocks at some point in future. Had vision of it last march, but don't know when. Started in bay area, aftershocks rocked LA too. Was like a chain reaction thing.
Police officers and firemen cant even afford to live in the city they protect. What does that tell you...
That's outrageous! Glad I live here in Texas & own my condo which is all paid for. I been through hard times & been laid off couple of times, but glad I never had to worry about my rent or mortgage. I strongly believe that if I lived in San Francisco I would either be homeless or living in my car, cause I couldn't possibly pay that kind of money for rent. My heart really goes out to those living in California. 💚
impassable Did I hear right $8,000 a month! Talk about being robbed. I guess you don't necessarily need a weapon to rob a person in San Francisco.😫
Timelessmusic Familymusic you are so blessed to own your property rent and mortgage free.. I'm one of those unfortunate Californians about to be priced out soon
@@selendriamuganogo7077 I'm constantly receiving calls & letters from investors to buy my condo. I live in a nice part of Dallas, I don't make the money I use to when I was young & can't afford to pay rent to someone else. My unit has been paid off almost 10 years now & I don't want to start over,
Thanks man.. I'm leaving California next month... It got too expensive to live here... We pay too much for everything... We have a high crime rate... Plenty of jobs but don't pay well... No other choice but move next door state..
Which is why, as a logical rational person, you don't live in a place you can't afford.
I live in the Bay and would never be able to afford SF. So guess what, I won't move there.
I don't know anyone who can afford $8000,00 for rent. That's one greedy landlord. 😱
