Or people could stop expecting to live in ranch homes and move into apartments.
There's plenty of land in the bay area, but bay area communities don't want residents. They want businesses because residents don't produce any taxable income for the municipality.
- jimrandomh 11y agoI think you might have an unrealistic view of the housing situation there. If your complaint about expectations were calibrated to reality on the ground, it would be "people could stop expecting to live in apartments and move into closets".
- erikpukinskis 11y agoNo, their view is entirely realistic. San Frqncisco zoning laws are controlled by property owners who have every reason to prevent high density housing because they're all getting rich off their tenants. As for your comments about closets... The only reason people are even considering living in closets is because property owners are preventing new units from being built all over the city.
