Perhaps if San Francisco allowed more housing development it wouldn't be so expensive. If you live in a desirable place it's going to be more expensive, especially if supply is restricted.
- untog 13y agoWell, the protestors are asking for Google to pay the city for using city infrastructure (bus stops) - that money in turn could/would go to affordable housing. In theory.
- mwnz 13y agoThat really isn't a significant sum of money.
- Cookingboy 13y agodraconian zoning laws and absolute stubborn against new development is, ironically, causing a vicious cycle that's driving up the price and increasing the rate of "gentrification" of the city. You can't fight the changing time by stubborning holding onto what you are used to in the past, because in the end, as long as this remains a free country where people can live wherever, the rule of supply vs demand always wins.
