Looking at Zillow, there are 64 2-bedroom apartments in SF alone for <= $4k. If you expand your search out of the city the number becomes much higher...

26 of those units are a dorm at SF State. Most of the rest are effectively Bayview, Ingleside/Oceanview, and the Tendernob. I'm not going to argue that you couldn't live in those locations at all. People do, and I'm sure they're lovely.

I actually think Ingleside is pretty doable, but it's a very long commute for the price. I'm not going to live in the Tenderloin, and you're probably not going to either.

I'm counting 7 apartments (arguably 8) outside of those neighborhoods, and half of those don't list the square footage (a 600sqft "two bedroom" is not a two bedroom).
