Well off hurricane evacuees having problems affording housing

Joe Garofoli reports in the SF Gate that even well off hurricane evacuees are having a hard time making ends meet in one of the most liberal but expensive cities in the country. Maybe its time for San Francisco Bay area resources to take a cultural / social ergonomic status refresher course.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency said last week that it would give families $2,358 apiece over three months in renewable housing subsidies. The trouble for evacuees in the Bay Area is that the figure is based on a national average for what it costs to rent a two-bedroom apartment.

In San Francisco, however, the average rent for a two-bedroom unit is $1,539 a month, according to federal housing figures.
