The simple solution to fix the housing crisis in SF is to build more housing. However, due to NIMBYs, that's impossible. Incentivizing landlords to lower rates to fill vacant homes will do very little to tackle the problem, but hey, at least it's possible.
- youeseh 5y agoIt seems that taxing vacant homes strengthens NIMBYism. Landlords will fight new construction even more to ensure maximum occupancy. Despite the rhetoric, if they go through with it, I think the consequences will be entirely intentional and the opposite of whats being advertised at the same time.
