Take a look at a city that knows what they're doing with housing, like Chicago or Houston (population 2 million and over, and Houston growing x4.5 faster than SF!). Houston added 364K people in the last 8 years. How many did SF do, a pathetic 80K in a city that has sooo many tech companies and soo much money. SF and other blue cities have a lot to learn about how to grow, and how to create the type of policies that allow them to do so (some of the population is hellbent against that).

Know how much housing costs in a city twice as large as SF, growing x4.5 times faster, Houston is 143$/sq foot and puts the entire West coast and every other blue state/city to shame.
