>Requiring noise insulation would drive the cost up
As if construction costs were the primary factor in determining the cost of real estate in places with housing crisis problems (like the Bay Area).
- zamfi 7y agoConstruction costs are very high in the Bay Area, and it is one component that holds back the construction of ADUs (in-law units) wchi hostage requires cities to support. Of course, then you’d ask, well why are construction costs so high in the Bay Area? And you might hear something about earthquakes, insulation, whatever. But the real reason is that contractors and construction workers need to live here too, and living here is damn expensive!
