Did they add enough housing to match? Asking for a friend.

Did they add enough housing to match? Asking for a friend.
- randomdata 8y agoJobs only come into existence once they are being done, so presumably the people who are doing them them are living somewhere.
- acchow 8y agoDoesn't mean housing is built. San Francisco builds 1 unit of housing for every 1.8 jobs. This means tons of people commute into the city from elsewhere, and lots of living rooms converted into de-facto bedrooms.
- randomdata 8y agoCertainly, but that still describes enough housing. Unless there is an indication that these tech workers are living on the street homeless?
- acchow 8y ago> living rooms converted into de-facto bedrooms > but that still describes enough housing At what point does it not describe enough housing? 3 bunk beds in the living room and 2 bunk beds per bedroom? Someone living in the bathtub?
- randomdata 8y agoGood question. If someone has a tech career, which should provide sufficient income to be able to afford to leave town and head for a place where housing is more abundant, but decides to stay anyway, then presumably they can be considered to have housing. I am not sure it is fair for us to judge how people choose to live within those houses. If sleeping in a living room is your thing, more power to you.
