Its because of rent control and laws that are heavily tilted towards tenants that SF needs more housing and even spaces like this. Thousands of places sit empty because landlords have chosen to not rent it out than deal with rent control, pay thousands and thousands of dollars to convince a tenant to move out, etc..

Most economists, even liberal heroes like Paul Krugman, will point out that rent control ends up doing is increase the rents for all remaining properties that don't fall under the umbrella of rent control. Progressives in SF cry crocodile tears about affordable housing even though they actively oppose new housing or highrises in SF and support rent control, even though both drive up rent to this degree.

I tried to do that, where I went to Craigslist and hover overed listings with images, but no pictures popped up without clicking on the header.

OP again, and I also need to consider resale since I probably will move in a year or two anyways. Why wait till I move to spend the money to make updates;I might as well enjoy some of those updates now while I'm living there. At the same time, I'd hate to spend money on something and then find out that it was already dated or something and I need to buy new treatments.

Are vertical blinds considered dated at this point? I didn't really see them in the magazines I was looking through, but I'll see other units where I live that have them. And, the rep from 3 Day Blinds assured me that vertical blinds were still 'in' and that I just needed to get 2 inch miniblinds.
