text: i am moving to san francisco, ca.  my budget is $1300/mo.  i want 1bdr, near bart, and safe.  recommendations?   i recommend the east bay near the bart stations. i used to live in el cerrito and the neighborhood is very nice. the only thing is, that was over 5 years ago, i am sure prices are up, but you should be able to find something reasonable around there. good luck!
