It is not so much new homes for young people, as increasing housing stock. It does not matter if the new homes are bought by the young, or if they are bought by existing homeowners; who then sell their old house. Either way the effect is an additional house on the market.

I have such a different perspective on this. Based on the zoning policies of the people in places like San Francisco, they are sending a clear signal they don't want me there. They aren't building sufficient housing such that someone like me could afford to live there. So I just don't. If I accept a job there that doesn't cover the rent, that's my fault.

The answer is to flee these places, move on to greener pastures, these are barren.
