San Franciscans still pay the nation's highest rents

I like San Francisco at lot, but not enough to pay that for a shoebox apartment. If I had $4,500 to blow on rent, I'd much rather live in a hotel. There are plenty of downtown hotels for $150 per night, and I'd get daily room service with that.

Here in Orlando, the range for apartments is from $1,200 to about $2,500.
 
The median price still stood at over $1 million in three counties (San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin), at $942,000 in Santa Clara County and at $680,000 in Alameda County. If this was a leveling, it didn’t bring much relief to middle-class buyers caught up in the housing crisis.
Consumer resistance had set in by spring. In the fall, a variety of analysts declared that rents were actually falling. Yet with an average apartment still renting for $2,500 in San Jose, $2,927 in Oakland and $3,499 in San Francisco, plenty of renters threw up their hands.
