i think the record surge in ipo's and venture capital during the bubble and attendant job "creation" from now defunct companies was much more the culprit for the bidding up of SV RE than prop 13 and most certainly NOT due to the mere 9 percent of elderly who were living there at the time.

so it appears to me there was a considerable influx of what turned out to be temporary workers who are now firmly ensconced in homes that were bought at a premium (just look at the age break down in the study i've linked to you)

i'm certain that those who still have jobs of aren't selling at a loss so one could argue that it is they who are keeping the supply of affordable homes off the market, most especially since their numbers far outstrip the numbers of the elderly.
