Of those some immediate standouts are:

Scam listings.

One that is >$2k a WEEK.

A bunch of listings not actually in SF.

Anecdotally; A friend of a friend just moved into an awful building on Ellis and is paying $1650/month for a small studio. 1br in my building are renting for $3,300+ and I'm not in a particularly desirable neighborhood, a new building, or a rent-controlled building.

So yeah, it feels really true.

Not really sure how rents are skyrocketing when every 3rd person I know in tech has been laid off in the last year.

Simple: the amount of available housing really is just that low.
