Fwiw, half a year ago (in February) I was able to rent a hangar at KOAK without any waiting, and they had another one free at that time. They are also remarkably cheap compared to other airports in the area - a 40 feet T-hangar costs around ~260/month. There also were a few hangars for sale.

That's interesting. I have been on the waiting list at Oakland for a couple of years?

Interesting indeed. There was a waiting list for bigger hangars, though (the ones at port-a-port).

That must be it. There was a small Port-a-Port that came up once. They were unable to open the door to show it to me, it was stuck closed and the springs were too weak to hold the door up once I forced it open. No electricity other than on a nearby pole. It still had the structural cross pieces that I would have needed to lift the tail-wheel over. Since I refused that hangar, I guess they put me on another kind of list?

Just to revive this topic.
When I arrived in the Bay area in 2013, I was told that hangar waiting lists were 5 years or more. I managed to get a share in an executive hangar where I was at the back behind a Centurion and Bonanza at the front.
Last year I heard that the lists were now much shorter so put my name down 4 months ago. I've now been offered a T-hangar at Hayward after turning down one of the smaller old hangars.
The small T-hangars are going for $242/month and the medium for $340.
So if you're looking for hangarage in the Bay area it may be worth getting on the list now.

I recently moved to the Bay Area and managed to find a share of an extra large portoport hangar through the local EAA Chapter. Visit the airports you are interested in and talk to folks, you will probably find something.

You might also visit LVK. The city has just transitioned out of the FBO business. The new for-profit FBO is Three Rivers, and they MAY be interested in building more hangars. Call them if you're interested.

Hah! You guys don't know how good you have it. My name finally came up on the rental hangar waiting list at KIZA the other day... after 15 years. Of course the opportunity to bypass that process and buy a hangar there comes up occasionally. Average price: >$400,000. I am not exaggerating.
