Are they idiots or are they unable to find housing within budget? Not sure about their rental situation. In Toronto you find ads for half a bed that you have to share for $500cad

They are idiots for staying in an area with prices that high if they aren't making enough money to make it financially feasible

What a lot of people do is work and live in SF as frugally as they can, save a few hundred thousand bucks, then move away

Wouldn't be something I would go for but if people are going for this it sounds like hell of a way to get filthy rich and screw tenants. Investment opportunity?!? Do they pay a deposit I can steal as well??
