I don't care about my investment in housing; I don't even live in SF. I just don't think rezoning will help. NYC has way denser than SF and its housing is also more expensive than SF.
Speaking of building more. I think getting rid of rent control will greatly help the situation. I don't see people wanting rezoning clamoring for getting rid of rent control.
- sushid 8y ago> I don't see people wanting rezoning clamoring for getting rid of rent control. It's because YIMBYs are already a minority to begin with. The only political pseudo ally they have are pro-affordable housing organizations. Arguing for both rezoning AND no rent control will be the end of their platform and they know it.
- ww520 8y agoGetting rid of rent control is pro-affordable housing. It will encourage building new units and lower the overall housing cost. Why would "pro-affordable" housing organizations not support it? Oh yeah, because they are enjoying the low rent and just as much NIMBY as the owners.
