Most of SV is not in SF, so SF market isn't much relevant to housing costs in the rest of Valley.

- simoncion 11y ago> Most of SV is not in SF... Yep. Obviously. I hope that you didn't think that I thought otherwise. From what I've read about the topic, it seems like a few things are true: * Housing costs are rising radically throughout the Bay Area * No major Bay Area city is building to meet demand in the area * Some Bay Area cities (notably, SF, MV, SJ, and others) are actively impeding new residential construction with a variety of pleasant-sounding excuses It's true that SF's fucked-up housing policy doesn't necessarily mean much for the rest of the Bay Area. However, it's a sad fact that the landowners in much of The Area have -correctly- surmised that they stand to make a shitload of money if they fail to build to meet demand. Fuck housing that's reasonably priced when there are pockets to be lined and fortunes to be made, amirite? :(
