Remote work and high cost of living are a few of the mentions for why an astronomically expensive city is becoming more reasonable, according to a November rent report by realtor.com.
It compared current rent prices to rates from the same time last year and found the median rent for a studio apartment in San Francisco has dropped 35 percent to $2,100 a month.
