Never have I read so much on a topic I find so interesting to learn so little.
An interesting snapshot into the housing debate currently taking place in San Francisco. It didn’t feel like Conor Dougherty was really trying to make sense of the issue, and there is little in the way of thesis or narrative thread. My biggest takeaway is that SF will likely muddle through the next few decades with no substantial change in zoning regulations, NIMBY organizers will continue to make building difficult, YIMBY groups will get some things passed, but likely fall into infighting and half-measures, prices will continue to increase.
For a picture of how housing prices are affecting people ‘Evicted’ is a much better portrait. For a sense of quagmire that is California local politics, I guess this is a good read.
