Since 65-70% of SF residents are renters from what I can gather, how/why exactly do these laws keep passing that restrict housing and increase home prices and rent?
- dghlsakjg 6y agoRenters vote less. Renters don't show up every week to city council meetings. Renters don't write objections to planning proposals.
- leafmeal 6y agoThey touch on this sort of indirectly, but homeowners aren't the only objectors. Often NIMBYs don't like development because they don't want to live next to a tall apartment building with lower income people, for example.
- missedthecue 6y agoBecause it's not very intuitive to most people that things like zoning, rent control, and laws against gentrification are anti-renter.
