Oh, I'm not suggesting the law should change. I'm just saying that housing is a sellers market in the bay area, to an extreme degree; sellers can set whatever ridiculous terms they want, and someone will still buy. What needs to change in the bay area is the housing supply. There just needs to be a lot more of it, so landlords stop being so picky and charging so much. It can cost several thousand dollars to move in the bay area, right now, by the time you cover deposit, first and last months rent, etc. And those are the kinds of terms you find on housing in the bay area. It's just an absurdly lopsided market, where renters have so little negotiating power. Every rental market is a little tougher for dog owners, but nowhere have I seen such an extreme disparity as in the bay area. That's really all I'm saying.
