Interesting post but it&#x27;s kind of lame without the actual #s.... even a broad range would be helpful.<p>Feels like the author goes to great lengths to play coy and is dancing around telling us what their actual budget was.  He keeps referring to things as &quot;cheaper&quot; and &quot;more expensive&quot; but doesn&#x27;t give any relevant parameters to put that into perspective.<p>Also, how does Berkeley have rent control but Oakland doesn&#x27;t?  Aren&#x27;t they both in the same county?
