I am moving to San Francisco but am having trouble finding an apartment that I can afford in SF that is in a safe area. Any ideas I would greatly appreciate.

I lived in SF until recently and moved around a bit in the 20 years that I was there. I can tell you with absolutely certainty that there are no cheap apartments in San Francisco. You can either share a place (as other people have noted in their answers), sublet a room, or live in the Tenderloin. Many people choose to live in Oakland and take BART into the city.

Sorry, " cheap apartment and San Francisco " is not a match!!
Space is a premium here and it is not cheap.
If you want to find a "somewhat reasonably priced" apartment go to Daly City or Colma. You can get into the city by bus or Bart train quite easily from there.

Depending on your budget, you may need to share a place. Check out Craigslist for potential roommates. It is the main way people look for roomies.
More info would be helpful, like what you consider to be "safe places," and what you're expecting to pay. I know personally I can guide you a little more that way.

The main way to get cheap rent is to share an apartment with one or more roommates. Check craigslist.

Do you know your areas for safe/not safe? If so, check out craigslist.org. People are always looking for a roommate or to sublet.
