Crazy that the bay area would rather force a mass exodus of middle and working class people than build small apartment buildings.

Don't they need larger apartment buildings and more inventory that isn't focused on luxury?

It doesn't matter if it's "luxury" or not - they need to build and they just don't.

If there is zero inventory added, that is a crisis.

I'm suggesting that the bracket of inventory also matters because "the rich person" won't live in low-end units no matter how abundant and the budget shopper doesn't want to or can't live in expensive units.

I'd suggest organizing to get initiatives passed but this might be difficult if prospective renters are forced outside of the voting jurisdiction.

Do you actually live in SF? This happens all the time there
