I live in the Civic Center/Hayes Valley area. The location is okay, and I'm not getting gouged too badly on rent (the wonders of rent control), but the building I live in is ancient. When I first moved in, a studio was $850/month or so. Now they're $1250.
Meanwhile, I keep drooling over the shiny new condos that opened up earlier this year over on Page street (a block away). I discovered today that the selling prices on those have dropped almost 15% over the past few months, but I still can't afford one. :(
