Not 150, not continuously.  Try more like 30.  San Francisco WAS a
big office and manufacturing center 50 years ago, when there were
real honest fish canneries on Fisherman's Wharf, and Ghirardelli
Square was a real honest chocolate factory.  Now all that industry
has gone (mostly to San Leandro), the big financial and banking
institutions are getting taken over (i.e. B of A to North Carolina0
and tourism and multimedia are the only games in town.

Agree.  I know of an absolutely terrific spot to stay in SF, not quite
$50 a night but pretty close.  However, like you, I'm not about to
give it away.  But remember, the original poster was looking to meet
a friend in Oakland.  If you're going to Oakland, why try to stay
in SF?
