A monument on how the housing crisis is the combination of both incompetence and malice. Price controls, discretionary zoning and control of production with affordable housing.

California deserves all its woes and tech should just leave california to stop giving away the value they create as an industry to landlords and city officials. California only has misery in its future.

It will never happen because the people that control the money have enough it to afford the good parts of the state. California and even San Francisco can be very beautiful in very specific areas.

I live in SOMA, it's dirty to say the least. Go into the Mission, there are places that somehow manage to be worse. Then there is the Tenderloin, I do Meals On Wheels and have delivered food to people in a SRO, I suggest you look up what that is to understand why the Tenderloin is as bad as it is.

The NW corner of Sf may as well be a different city.

Money cannot shield you from the disgraces of a decaying economy.

As someone from the Bay Are who has moved to NYC, I hope so! It's high dimensional negotiaton so fingers crossed.

Also, really appreciate the depth of the coverage in this one.

All talk no action.

The will to build a single unit of housing for homeless people isn't though.
