I've considered buying a large boat and living on it to avoid property tax. Granted, you then have slip/marina fees - unless you live off the hook in a bay in which it's free.
Tempting.

If you look at "global" real estate by city, I don't see SF even in the top 10. Shanghai, Singapore, London, Paris - all more expensive for total cost of living.
Question is if/when SF will be in the elite list of global cities which seem to be immune from any downward price push.
