SF is surrounded by water on 3 sides. Where do you propose all these new houses be built?
- alexhutcheson 6y agoMaybe one of SF’s tech companies can invent a technology that would allow housing to be stacked vertically.
- Vaslo 6y agoCmon - they are just too busy trying to steal more of my data
- koolba 6y agoI think it’s more likely that they end up with floating apartments, likely in shipping containers, parked just outside the city’s legal limits.
- imtringued 6y agoIf SF land is so valuable why not just build more of it?
- koolba 6y agoSame reason you can’t build houses on land you already own. They won’t let you.
- cj 6y agoNew construction can replace old construction. In theory.
- csa 6y ago> SF is surrounded by water on 3 sides. Where do you propose all these new houses be built? Up seems to be the obvious answer.
- sampo 6y ago> Where do you propose all these new houses be built? That's your problem right there, when you write "houses". Cities need apartment buildings, which allow more homes per same area than single family houses.
- mrkstu 6y agoVertically.
- tomcam 6y agoWhat did Hong Kong do?
- stjohnswarts 6y agoLet builders tear down old buildings and single dwelling house and build up and denser. NIMBYism prevents this currently because people want to "keep the feel" of the area. Well that's impossible. Things always change, you can't go back, you can only delay and price yourself out of your own house. At least most get to sell at a good profit.
