Well, no, we wouldn&#x27;t, because you can set prices as high as you want, but they won&#x27;t stay that high if nobody can pay them.<p>The reason SF landlords are getting away with the absurd rent they&#x27;re charging is because there is a very low vacancy rate AND there are enough people willing to pay 50% or more of their $6-$7k take-home pay just to live in a cool neighborhood.<p>I don&#x27;t know how much the average plumber makes, but I don&#x27;t think it would skew the market in the same way.
