There’s absolutely a place in the market for small apartments. In fact the end of SROs is a large contributor to homelessness. But hey if you don’t want to live in one don’t buy one. Your position amounts to “you can only buy what I consider nice, and if you can’t afford that, then you get nothing — get out.” It doesn’t make nicer housing more affordable, it makes all housing less affordable. Zoning imposes a $400,000 per unit premium in SF. Which is exactly how we got single family zoning, btw. It was created in early 1900s Berkeley to prevent minorities and the poor from living there by making sure the kind of housing they could afford wasn’t built.
