If SF Bay Area cities can't be bothered to build enough housing, they should at least have the decency to tax the fuck out of business until they start moving out and housing prices regress to 3x the median rent.

If you want the companies, you must take their employees. If you don't want their employees, you shouldn't have the companies.

They could just stop approving new office space. I've noticed a lot of the prices increases started around when Twitter moved to Civic Center and SOMA began to open up to tech startups. I think the number of jobs vastly increased.
