This is 98% of San Francisco's problem. They decided they didn't want high rises. Less room = less supply = prices going up.
Its idiotic to get mad at tech and other companies for providing jobs. I can't believe how utterly incompetent so called "leaders" are with their either ignorance in basic economics or malfeasance in knowing but using the strife to push their political agenda instead of solving problems.
- 0xy 6y agoSan Francisco voters regularly vote against their own interests. For example, a plurality of renters vote in favor of NIMBY policies. It transcends party lines for the most part, too. Homeowners vote to preserve their investments by restricting competition. Government complies, every single time. You can't unfold a lawn chair in NYC without a permit to do so from the Department of Lawn Chairs. This absolutely decimates the working class, and politicians know it does.
