Rent prices in Mission getting crazy

Anyone else noticing rent going up fast in Mission? Over the last year, I feel like prices went up at least 10-15%. I'm paying $931 for a 1BR which feels okay for the area. Are there any neighborhoods that are still affordable? Thinking about moving to a cheaper area.
