I would argue that the causes in SF are more complex than you portray. For example, race relations and racism are a factor, which is why NIMBYism is so strong in the Mission. There's even a "no-fault eviction map" that is depicted on a mural there: http://www.antievictionmappingproject.net/combined.html http://www.antievictionmappingproject.net/combined.html https://www.antievictionmap.com/mural-in-clarion-alley https://www.antievictionmap.com/mural-in-clarion-alley I'd also recommend looking at Janet Delaney's photos of SoMa from when it was a predominantly black neighbourhood. 3rd, 4th and 5th Streets have been rebuilt, but at the expense of pushing out the people of color that used to call that neighbourhood home. Delaney's work has been on exhibit at the SFMOMA, and studying local art in SF can help one understand the factors that lead to local opposition to housing development. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/la-et-cam-sfmoma-south-of-market-san-francisco-20160601-snap-story.html https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/la-et-cam-sfmoma-... https://www.sfmoma.org/artist/janet_delaney/ https://www.sfmoma.org/artist/janet_delaney/ This announcement isn't going to affect the overall narrative around housing in SF. It's just "let's build some houses next to one of our south bay campuses", which Facebook already did a few years back. https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/02/08/facebook-unveils-new-vision-for-big-willow-village-complex-in-menlo-park/ https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/02/08/facebook-unveils-new-... Google's has also previously submitted plans to the city of mountain view that include houses on its land (not sure if any of these count towards the 20k number): https://www.engadget.com/2018/12/09/google-mountain-view-development-plans/ https://www.engadget.com/2018/12/09/google-mountain-view-dev... https://www.mountainview.gov/depts/comdev/planning/activeprojects/northbayshore_/nbppbonusfar.asp https://www.mountainview.gov/depts/comdev/planning/activepro...
