Interesting! Not sure what's constraining supply to the point that SF's average cost per SQFT is so much higher than Manhattan's? Restrictions on building up? R

Interesting! Not sure what's constraining supply to the point that SF's average cost per SQFT is so much higher than Manhattan's? Restrictions on building up? Rent control limiting supply?

> Restrictions on building up? More this one than the other one.. Here's a map of SF: https://static6.businessinsider.com/image/5342ef126da811ef6aba14fa-917-687/sf-building-height-zoning-1.jpg https://static6.businessinsider.com/image/5342ef126da811ef6a... All of the yellow areas have 40-ft height limits -- even though huge corridors in the yellow areas have good transit, freeway access, etc. The Western half of the city is all single family homes or 2/3 unit apartments, it's insane: http://calphotos.berkeley.edu/imgs/512x768/1351_3151/4303/0043.jpeg http://calphotos.berkeley.edu/imgs/512x768/1351_3151/4303/00...
