Is it cheaper to stay in Oakland or San Francisco?

According to ABODO's Annual Rent Report, Oakland is cheaper and will predictably be so in 2017. Oakland takes the sixth spot on the list while San Francisco is the first. Oakland is not nearly as affordable as it once was, but a dollar goes further there than in San Francisco.

BART stops at four downtown San Francisco stations that are an easy walk or short cab ride to most San Francisco hotels. BART fares are based on distance traveled; the greater the distance, the higher the fare.
