Completely agree. Nonetheless, I stand by my position that the SFBA housing situation is NOT an example. In the case of the pistachio farmers there was a common resource (the aquifer) that was available on a first-come-first-served basis, so deep drillers were rewarded. I don't see any analogous mechanism at work here.

The common resource is land. Although there is a private aspect to land, it is also managed collectively through zoning laws (and other laws).

The commons in this case isn't the land, it's the government and laws.
