Re:Saving San Francisco goes deeper than “build more housing” by lukasb on Friday October 27, 2017 @01:22PM (#15570395)
Except San Francisco is paying the price for Mountain View and Palo Alto being willing to add jobs but not housing. Arguing "well then those cities should build housing" is true, but misses the point: given that people can commute, city boundaries are sort of irrelevant. It's a regional problem.

This is true, but incomplete.

Strictly, the entire area is paying the price for the entire area being willing to add jobs but not add housing.

San Francisco is no different from Palo Alto and Mountain View in that regard.
