There are people who like all sorts of things. Some people like being tied up, whipped, and electrocuted by strangers. And a disproportionate number of these people live in San Francisco. I am just saying this isn’t a coincidence. Best line in the article. The author legitimately raises many good points. I’ve never understood the supply and demand argument for YIMBY’s, particularly in the Bay Area. That’s not how cities work in the 21st century. More housing would just make SF into a stronger more desirable economic epicenter thus keeping rents high. Manhattan is a perfect example. The points about Austin stand as well. Austin has had tons of available prime real estate for a long time. It still has plenty. Having, over the past 20+ years, watched SF become Mordor, Seattle become SF, and Austin become Seattle. I think this may just be the natural progression of things.
