Tech people should reflect a bit on our responsibility for this situation. It's not that housing is scarce in absolute terms. There's a ton of housing in rural or suburban areas. There's even a lot of housing in cities - just not the "desirable" cities. And what are the "desirable" cities? Almost without exception, they are places where tech workers tend to cluster - SF, NYC, Seattle, Boston, Austin, etc. We should try to alleviate this problem by lobbying the leadership of big tech companies to open more branch offices in middle-tier cities, and also to increase support for remote workers.
