You do realize a 500 sq ft studio apartment may run $2000/mo or more in that same area right? It's one of the most expensive places to live in the US

That's the problem, and this is not a reasonable solution.

I think the solution is to move somewhere cheaper with fast Internet.

I don't argue that there aren't any better solutions, but SF is on a peninsula (called Yerba Buena if anyone cares) and is already the 2nd most densely populated city in the US, which is just to say that it's a limited space without a lot of options for housing short of building in more density.
