Would you accept a compromise where affordable housing is subsidized if the person is a long-term tax-paying/law-abiding resident of that area (5+ years) but not otherwise? I think there has to be a disincentive for people to move to expensive and desirable locations like SF and expect to be able to make ends meet. If they're a newcomer to an area, they should know the costs and what it takes and bear the responsibility instead of imposing themselves upon existing residents IMO.
