I'm not sure if there's anything wrong with it being a little pricey. Urban neighborhoods come in different price points...and the rich need to sip their lattes too.

It certainly has always been a wealthy neighborhood, but it was at least accessible for a decent amount of modestly priced rental units ($750-1200/room) and even the odd cheap ones, but post-flood renovation units are just ridiculous now and putting in only a handful of units at the 'painted ladies' site and that new condo unit (can't remember the name, it's definitely a good looking building but the number of units is disappointing) certainly won't help matters either as things seem to be quickly trending to $1000+ being the new low point and that's not that great for a community that was rather diverse. A bit too much gentrification too fast IMO.
However as long as the empty lots and holes in the ground on 4th Street keep getting filled up then it's hard to complain I guess.
