I think it's not used like that in regards to SF because no one is proposing plans that would make that possible without government rent control.

  Most people discussing it on the internet do not actually live in SF. This here is the internet. I just checked. I am not in San Francisco and I am talking about it.

    Sure, I don't live in SF either, but afaict SF is the most discussed city with regards to housing affordability.

      The comment I was replying to did not specify "in this case" or "in this context" or "when we are talking about San Francisco." Saying that the term is very specific and specifically means X without, yourself, specifying the conditions under which it means X reads as holier than thou, not as let me helpfully clarify this technical term for you. I actually studied housing issues in college because I was pursuing a BS with a concentration in housing as I wanted to be an urban planner. I am fully aware of the fact that the term is used that way in some situations and stated so in my comment. But, I write a fair amount about affordable housing and that isn't how I use it. Good communication starts with context. This is the internet. It is not San Francisco.

        Fair points, I'm sorry for my somewhat pithy original reply.
