Are you saying that is the only thing that is keeping the bay area's cost of living high?
- crooked-v 9y agoHousing costs are exaggerated in San Francisco by orders of magnitude more than every other component of cost of living.
- JSDave 9y agoThere are other factors that also push up housing costs. placeybordeaux just disagrees that NIMBYism is the ONLY factor. I don't know if NIMBYism is even the primary factor. For example, we have a small public transit network resulting in few options for high density construction. There's a construction labor shortage that will likely worsen. There's a sudden surge in jobs.
- abalashov 9y agoNo, I don't think the GP is. But it's a rather predominant factor!
