Build the hyper loop between Portland and San Francisco and prices will plummet.

I bet it would be a lot cheaper than building more houses too!

You wouldn't need to go that far to have a huge impact. High speed rail or hyper loop between SF and Tracy would open up the Central Valley and its vast expanses of open land.

Even at hyperloop speeds (and even assuming hyperloops would work exactly as advertised), Portland is too far away for convenient commuting to SF.
