talk about sticker shock!!

[Daniel Miller]

extract from article in SfGate (KTVU website):
"The average asking rent at buildings with at least 50 units in Oakland hit $1,925 in the third quarter, up 19 percent from the same time last year, RealFacts said. That figure averages rents for units ranging from studios to three bedrooms, but the trend is just as pronounced for each size. One-bedroom apartments, for instance, were asking $1,761, a 20.1 percent increase from a year ago, RealFacts said."

That makes my $2700 San Jose house seem not so absurd...
