Tech boom + permits for new offices + obstructing permits for housing = most expensive city in the world.

There's lots of space for infill housing. There are MANY one and two story buildings within a stone's throw of a train line.

The people really suffering are the ones on the low end of the pay scale that either commute multiple hours of their day or spend half their income on rent.
