But is housing in SF a fundamental need?
I think the question posed is quite relevant, and FWIW my take is that property rights are a concern here. The answer is that there are other concerns in tension with this — including the desire to have more affordable housing in The city and voters apparently consider this to be more important in this case.
- bubblethink 4y agoThe landlords are free to move out of SF as much as tenants are. Nobody is held at gunpoint.
- AdrianB1 4y agoThey cannot move out taking the houses with them. Not at gunpoint, but still not able to move it.
- actually_a_dog 4y agoIt's a fundamental need for some people, if you want to have a healthy city where firefighters, teachers, baristas, servers, etc. can live there without having the city's cost of living externalized via multiple hour megacommutes.
