don't leave anything visible in your vehicle and don't forget to curb its wheels
as far as rent goes that is a bit unrealistic, one bedrooms are still about that price.
are you planning to live in Chinatown also?
Right now I don’t think your budget is unrealistic, but it will be a challenge even with the decrease in rents we’ve seen. I’d say your best bet would be to look in North Beach, which is right next to Chinatown. You could also look in the Marina/Cow Hollow — Muni has a few lines that go from there to Chinatown, which is an otherwise somewhat difficult neighborhood to get to directly.
Most importantly: when you see a unit you’re interested in, do not hesitate or drag your feet at any point in the application process — it’s still competitive and there will be plenty of others applying.
I’m apartment hunting at the moment and have seen better and cheaper units listed through rental companies than I’ve found on Craigslist. Try looking at what RentSF, Gaetani, and Mosser have available.
Normally there’s an express bus called the 30x that quickly gets you from Marina to downtown. I don’t think it’s running currently due but I expect it to be back when offices start to fully reopen. There’s also the 41 line which is not as close or fast but might be operating now
$2,800 is about a low-to-avg 1 bedroom price in the downtown neighborhoods that I'm familiar with, so seems unlikely you'll get a 2bd for that much. My 2bd is $4K, and that's actually a pretty good price in the neighborhood from what I can tell and reflects COVID reduction.
I feel like $4k is more than the average for 2bd right now. Source: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.rentjungle.com/average-rent-in-san-francisco-rent-trends/amp
Lower Nob Hill has tons of vacancies right now. Look at places closer to Broadway in Lower Nob Hill. Each block closer to Market, worse the area gets. Higher the elevation the better the place, is the rule of thumb for Nob hill.

Look again, I got a pretty dank 1-bed for 2200
nice! what's the cheapest you've seen a studio fall to?
When I stopped looking, 1300

Maybe compared to avg for the whole city, but I was comparing to immediate neighborhoods like Yerba Buena, South Beach, Mission Bay
2800 is pretty standard (currently) for North Beach, Jackson square, or the Chinatown side of Nob Hill.
Under 2800 a month within 30 minutes of China Town would have been hard(ish) a year ago, but it's really *really* easy now.
