As a landlord of sfh’s and other rental properties, have to agree with both of the above.
I’m sure you realize you are living in one of the most competitive property markets in the country, so it’s going to be very difficult for you to negotiate, when there is so much competition for housing.
You are not alone in your concerns, as I hear people who have lived here for years, complaining about how their kids can’t afford to rent or buy a home here, or in many other desirable places in CA anymore, but, again, that’s the market, so it’s a kind of take it or leave it situation.
I wish you the best, and hope you find a solution that works for you.
