Would forcing upper class people into the periphery solve the logistical problems?

Would forcing upper class people into the periphery solve the logistical problems?
- Apocryphon 11y agoSure, but that's a strawman solution when there are plenty of other possibilities to consider, such as building more housing.
- yummyfajitas 11y agoIf I had thought of this, I'd probably have put the sentence "There is an obvious solution - legalize increases in K" in the last line of my comment.
- aetherson 11y agoBuilding more housing is good policy, but let's not kid ourselves -- there would be tons of gentrification in any remotely plausible amount of development in in-demand places to live like San Francisco or Mountain View. In-fill development might slow gentrification a bit, but it certainly won't make San Francisco or Mountain View affordable to people who make $50k per year, much less those who make $25k per year.
