This is not surprising at all. We keep complaining about it here and elsewhere but it's not going to change any time soon. The more people flock to SF the worse it will become.

When I left SF my studio "jr. one-bedroom" in SOMA was $3100 a month. I'd walk or muni to work by the ballpark and usually saw at least one person smoking meth, shooting up heroin, or pissing on the street. I pay less than half of that now for a 2 bedroom house in Michigan and have a stress-free 20 minute commute to the FarmLogs office.
