I don't think there's enough people in the valley with the money and the desire to convert and rent out part of their house to do much of anything about the demand.
- hx87 10y agoYou might have a point about desire, but with the levels of land value inflation there, almost any owner can take out enough of a home equity loan to finance the construction or conversion of additional units.
- kqr2 10y agoWe should let the market decide. The same argument was used against airbnb : who wants to rent out part of their house to strangers?
- TulliusCicero 10y agoI disagree, but either way, looser zoning would allow it to happen, not force it to happen. If people don't want to sell, well, nobody would make them.
