I'm surprised this isn't covered more, but this talk of boosting 'affordable', actually government subsidized housing as a solution doesn't seem like an actual solution to me either.
how many middle class families are going to register with a government entity, stay under low yearly income limits to 'qualify' for affordable housing? number of kids you have in your family is factored in as well...becoming a metric that factors into your qualification for housing.
seems sort of orwellian to me. we should be creating bills to expedite all housing. not just subsidized housing.

- cobookman 9y agoFor SF you don't need To stay under the limit. Technically you could apply as a college student, buy a BMR condo, then start your 6 figure job while keeping the place.
- pascalxus 9y agoYour right. I never said anything about subsidized housing. We just need vastly more supply of market rate housing to bring it down to a level where it's cost effective enough for everyone
