I wonder how many people will go from "I can afford a single family house in SF" to "I cannot afford a single family house in SF" as a result of this bill.

- freshpots 5y agoI think you have it backwards. More housing reduces housing pressure and prices.
- yoz-y 5y agoAren’t many of the single family houses currently occupied by people flatsharing, which would be better served by other types of housing?
- kelnos 5y agoWho cares? If you are dead-set on a single family house, you probably shouldn't move to a dense, urban area. SFHs are incredibly inefficient uses of land, and that only makes sense where land is more plentiful and in lower demand. SFHs in Manhattan easily go for over $2k per square foot, or even a lot more (just found one listed on Zillow for $5k/sqft). No one seriously complains about that, because "wasting" space in an urban area should cost you. Sure, most of Manhattan is a lot more dense than most of SF, but given demand here, expecting affordable SFHs is unrealistic already.
