spdrun, you really fail to see the point. My response was ctr70, who was trying to compare Clairemont to SF. Someone who have enough money to buy investment properties with cap rate of 7-8% and have enough income from those investment properties to live in SF would not be consider Clairemont. That’s the point. Trying to say SD is crappy and SF is great because of area like Clairemont is retarded.
SOMA is not the greatest part of SF, yet for $1950, you can rent a 275 sq-ft studio. If you really want to compare apple to apple, you can compare that studio in SOMA to this: http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/apa/3380888812.html. I would say Gaslamp area is > SOMA, 940 sq-ft > 275 sq-ft, etc.
