Blame, blame, blame. Blame companies and jobs for increasing the population in an area. Only in San Francisco.
While $2.9 ->BILLION<- DOLLARS are spent building a new trans bay center for the upcoming High Speed Rail Project linking it with Los Angeles. http://www.sfcta.org/delivering-transportation-projects/transbay-transit-center-and-caltrain-downtown-extension http://www.sfcta.org/delivering-transportation-projects/tran... which will bring even more people into San Francisco, the city that refuses to grow or change.
● No one in the city planning department understands housing supply and demand.
● San Fran is obsessed with itself; it wants everything to stay the same. Keep its views, keep its victorian houses, keep the skyline the same, keep Twitter and Tech Startups ->IN THE CITY<- yet somehow keep prices the same.
● San Francisco has had these issues long before all these tech jobs flooded the area. It's had these problems and flaws for a long time now and still hasn't addressed them the way a sane human being would.
● "Everything was fine until all these high paid tech jobs came in" says San Francisco. While cities all over America are spending millions trying to create their own silicon valley and kickstart gentrification to fix up blighted neighborhoods and pay for police and schools.
● The whole city is run on emotion rather than logic and compromise.
Blame those who fix up neighborhoods, increase property value, pay more property taxes that will go to schools and police, bring in more people to the bay area while NOT BLAMING the city for doing the exact same thing with it's polices. The city's busted politics are at fault. Not the tech companies, not the tech workers.
