I live in the Richmond Hills and my MORTGAGE is less than that.

Yes but... Richmond.

Yeah, its so terrible here. I live in the hills overlooking the entire city of SF. I have a view of the bay bridge, the golden gate bridge, angel island and alcatraz from my backyard.

There is zero crime since I live in the hills. There are nice restaurants and nice people.

So yeah, please continue thinking that this place is uninhabitable and stay in SF. :)

Funny how people said the same thing about the Mission 10 years ago, or Oakland 5 years ago.

Richmond still has the highest violent crime rate in the Bay (and the highest murder rate).

Plus is probably the worst possible commute location while still being in the Bay.

Don't get me wrong - the hills are nice, but there are PLENTY of reasons why your place is cheap.
