Do you believe that that's a contributing factor to the lack of new construction in San Francisco?
If so, is it a larger factor than the insane city-wide height restrictions and strong anti-development lobby?
(If you'd like to point a finger at the folks who obstruct demolition of rent-controlled units to construct new units, I point you to this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9210429 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9210429 ) :)
- nedwin 12y agoIt's definitely a factor in new construction in San Francisco. I wouldn't say it's a larger factor than the anti-development lobby but I think the anti-development lobby and the rent control lobby are closely aligned. Height restrictions are another factor, as is the requirements around affordable housing.
