I'm not a bay area resident, but one thing I find amusing about the HN posts about the SF affordability crisis is that they all focus on the supply side rather than the demand side. Making communities in South Bay or East Bay more attractive to the same sorts that want to live in SF will relieve some of the pressure on the SF market while improving the lot of even more people. Its a longer term solution (bringing in quality public transport, denser development, and changing perceptions takes time) but it is ultimately more feasible than creating enough housing in SF for everyone who wants to live there.
