Bravo TV Wants America to Know That SF Rent is Too Damn High

Finally, there’s a show that all of San Francisco can agree to hate-watch. Bravo’s newest season of Million Dollar Listing takes place in the City by the Bay and will premiere on July 8.

The Mission barely has any affordable housing, and there’s only a handful of neighborhoods where you can rent a one-bedroom for under $2,500, but that’s pocket change compared to all the million dollar listings lurking around the city. In case you don’t already know, the show follows real estate agents attempting to sell apartments, condos, and houses to mega-wealthy people who are also mega-anal about what they want in their dream home.

The show will most likely feature tech workers who are in the market for new digs. It will also feature “investors from outside the country, mostly Asia,” the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

In case you’re wondering, this series has nothing to do with the SyFy Channel’s Bazillion Dollar Club, a show currently filming in Alamo Square. That show follows “teams of startups as they move through an accelerator program in Silicon Valley, and focuses on the ups and downs of startups before they get funded,” according to Hoodline. San Francisco is one of the few cities lucky enough to support two gratuitous real estate shows.

The ridiculous soap opera known as San Francisco housing is about to become entertainment for the rest of America — or least the part that watches Bravo. Keep it real, SF.
