It’s not really though. SF has a housing crisis. We would all be better off if an unhoused person was living there or someone with lower paid but necessary job (e.g. caretaker at a nursing home).

Making money off people on vacations is worse than providing stable housing for people in the city.

The city prohibits from being rented long term since it lacks a full kitchen. The SF rules are, I could not airbnb if I could rent it long term.

Is this still true under the all statewide ADU legislation that came into effect this year?
