Z, No, we do have an answer. More and better public housing. But that's not within the "Overton Window" right now. Of course they have "answers," but most of them are just empty slogans. I already mentioned why more and better public housing is harder than it sounds. The problem is finding developers willing to actually build said housing. Anything can be done if you throw a ton of money at it, but even rich San Francisco is balking at the cost. Anyway, it's a lot easier to just oppose rich, wealthy developers than it is to come up with alternatives. And that's where we stand today. Combine this with regulations that limit the height on buildings in most areas, and the fact that most San Franciscans kind of like having open spaces wherever possible, and you create a huge supply-demand imbalance.
