I am glad I had my SF adventure when I did. I lived there from 1996-2001 and paid less than US$900 for a charming Nob Hill bachelor. That same apartment goes for $3k today.
Currently I am in Toronto, paying CAD$1400 for a rent controlled one bedroom downtown that I have been in for over a decade. Current market price for same is CAD$1700, but this includes a flood of new condo units more luxurious than mine.
Toronto is looking good in comparison to US cities. It has all the amenities of SF, Seattle or Boston, though the IT salaries are not as high. Plus, no Republicans.
