If they don't build housing, they will rapidly have all these problems. There's no magic here, no curse on the Bay Area and Seattle, it's all economics, though the geography of SF and Seattle don't help. From cursory Googling, it looks like Austin is beginning to upzone areas so that apartments can be built, which is a step in the right direction. From what I understand, Austin has already been struggling with affordable housing, so I don't think the outlook is very good.
