>This will enable us to support the development of at least 15,000 new homes at all income levels in the Bay Area, including housing options for middle and low-income families. (By way of comparison, 3,000 total homes were built in the South Bay in 2018)
This nails the root cause of the housing "crisis" in the bay area.
- khazhou 7y agoThat's not the only root cause. It is also trivially easy for Google and other BigCo's to hire from outside the Bay Area (college recruits, etc) and those people move here without a plan of where to live. They arrive and set up in a small apartment and soon discover there's no other housing option, but the job is too lucrative and interesting to leave. Another 1000 follow the next week.
