Unlikely to happen, in my opinion. Locals, who have lived in the Bay Area for a long time, have all the voting rights and they either own homes and want to see their property value increase or are considered poor and get cheap housing and plenty of handouts. Only those who move here actually suffer and pay all the taxes to support the locals and end up renting forever.

More renters than owners. Renters need to get out and vote.

  Too bad most of them are probably immigrants with no voting rights.

    Who also own houses?

    If it sucks here then don't move here?

      There is no perfect place. Pick what you are willing to accept.

        Right so if it's bad don't move there. I don't see what the issue is.

  Local renters, yes; but local renters are somewhat apathetic if their rent is governed by rent control and they're not paying market rate. (The ones that are paying market rate should absolutely be, and it's disheartening.) Those of us who are or feel priced out of those areas, however, have no voting rights, but are stuck with the outcomes.
