Supply is the answer. You cannot increase the number of people living in a city without increasing housing stock.
Build, build, build. It is the only answer.
- simoncion 12y agoI totally agree that SF needs to build like crazy. Every new residential construction that goes up fills me with a little joy. :) > The rent control creates the mold and stuck windows. That's the point. Bullshit. 1) Friends down the block from me live in a tall "market rate" tower that is in substantially poorer condition than the rent-controlled building that I call home. 2) In SF, stuck windows and mold are must-repair items for landlords, regardless of rent control status. If you as a tenant can't get satisfaction from your landlord, do the repair yourself and present him with a bill. The law guarantees that you'll be reimbursed in circumstances like these.
