re: U-haul Shortages In San Francisco

Hard to believe you can even rent a Uhaul in SF. Try getting your oil changed or tires aligned... there are very few basic service stations with rent that high.

San Francisco County, the tip of the peninsula, is roughly 7 miles by 7 miles. I lived there in 2000/2001. North of Market St and east of Van Ness there were just a few gas stations. As in four or five, maybe. There were a more out in the western districts and the south part of the city, but I'd be surprised if there were more than about 25 places to buy fuel in the whole county. Oil change and alignment? A dozen or fifteen, maybe.

Housing prices have been ridiculous for years. This isn't a new development. You had to drive to Colma to go to Home Depot or get buried. No cemetaries in The City.
