One can make a pretty compelling argument that others in the city have very effectively used the government to make the value of their places far, far higher than their actual worth.
No, you're not. You're only trapped by your own insistence on living in that particular neighborhood in SF. I don't see why you think because you've become comfortable somewhere you're entitled to stay there forever.
>I'm pretty sure that it's not me that's running up a tab.
Yes it is. The value of what you're consuming has gone up, but you've used the government to force your landlord to provide you a place for less than its' worth.
