Name the boroughs in SF that would be sister boroughs of the ones in NYC. Or describe the city as if it were grouped like NYC is.
Been apartment hunting for 19 days full time. Have been told I was first in a first come and first serve until a mystery new app found from the day before. Been told my app was second landlord choice for 3 other places despite applying within minutes of listing. Am I supposed to automatically offer over listing? Even if it pushes a 1 bedroom to 6K? I'm exhausted and need a home. Even if that home takes all my money and I can never afford to go out.
This is partially a rant, partially looking for advice. I lived in the city for a few years a few years back and was able to find a studio in pac heights for $1500, and back then there were ample options all around, tons of listings. I moved around a bit but I’m moving back to the city with 2 other roommates so were trying to find 3 bedrooms, our budgets are about $1800 each. I know this city is god damn expesnive, but our criteria is basically “not the tenderloin” and pretty much don’t care about anything else. We are even looking at 2 bedrooms and turning the living room into a room. Theres just. Nothing? There are about 5 apartments within our criteria that have been posted in the last week, and none of them get back to us because they have sometimes hundreds of responses by the first day. We are looking on everything. FBM, Craigslist, Zillow, Apartments Com, real estate websites. There just doesn’t seem to be ANYTHING. Again, I know this is a tough city to find a place in, but does it get better? Is this a bad time of year to look? We are at the latest moving in September, so if anyone has advice on if theres a better time to look I would appreciate it. I just feel like I’m going insane. I would really love to live here but at this point we mag just have to go to the east bay because this is insane.
my friend and I are currently visiting SF for a few days and were wondering what the best bars for meeting guys in their late 20s would be? we're both in our mid 20s, so not looking for a fresh out of college crowd, maybe a bit older and skewing towards bar rather than the club. any suggestions are welcome!
edit: we're two women looking for men! should have clarified oops
