The San Francisco Bay Area is a huge economic engine, however, there is a severe housing shortage which could potentially disrupt this.
What would Jane Jacobs recommend in this situation?

- Bensch 11y agoShe would likely correctly identify restrictive zoning as the culprit, and recommend its elimination.
- ktothemc 11y agoUnclear. Jane Jacobs has a section in her seminal book on American cities about "gradual" and "cataclysmic" money, which can wipe out a delicate neighborhood ecosystem.
- desdiv 11y ago>Cities can stab themselves in the back, too: >They can restrict enterprise. The haves like to keep the have-nots out of business, apparently under the belief that prosperity is a zero-sum game; the result is at best lost opportunities for growth, and at worst stagnation and decline. I think this describes the SF housing market pretty well.
