Wow, Seattle actually doesn't seem that much more expensive compared to the $1,263 average 1br in Dallas. But SF... Holy shit. And I'm actually seeing $2,965 on Rent Jungle for SF right now.
That's only true if you need to live in new construction. My previous apartment was an old crappy 2BR on Capitol Hill, with Cascade views, from 2012-2014, for $1500. Currently I'm paying $2200 for a 2BR house with a nice yard in the Central District.
If anyone wants to rent a nice 3BR house north of the UW for $3-4K, email me, I know of one for rent.
