Paying living wages for that area is probably the last thing they would consider, after all else failed, including petitioning government.

Isn’t the minimum wage in SF $15/hr?

Even if it were $100/hr that still doesn’t mean the housing supply would be adequate for the demand.

The only short-term solution that would give sufficient housing supply to the Bay Area would be a massive loss of jobs.

Or smart relocation. Does the marketing department really need to be in the same building as the accounting department, etc?

Either way, SF is having the issue they are having because SV had the exact same problem 20 years ago. Everyone knew this was going to happen.
