  2. "the new median rent in San Francisco is $4,225 a month."

    That's just insane. A person would have to make north of $50,000 a year just to pay for the rent alone!

  3. And they're building new apartments and town homes at a furious pace. I know, because I live in the midst of it. Every patch of dirt is being converted to new units.

    When the newest real estate bubble pops just as all this new supply comes onto the market, we're going to see rental rates plunge.
