As an example of how Bay Area housing politics are silly.. there is a document that local governments use that purports to show that building more housing creates demand for even more housing, and use it to justify not building things.
By that logic, these arsons will help reduce rents in Oakland... it makes no sense.

- sliverstorm 9y agoMaybe it does make sense. I want to live in Oakland even less now.

Just keep building housing until every person who wants a roof over their head has one.
