This was exactly the attitude causing the problem in the first place. The long term solution of housing being cheap is obviously superior to the long term solution of housing prices doubling every generation until nobody but the very wealthy can afford to buy a home.

But so did leaving the bay area because it was insanely expensive (and similarly, almost everyone from my graduating class left too).
