> S.F. needs more housing

Always funny to see this taken at face value. SF doesn’t “need” housing. People want to pay less for housing. Not the same thing at all.

S.F. suffers from insufficient housing, calling it a need is just a handy shortcut.
Do they also suffer from insufficient Lamborghinis?
No, the lack of Lamborghinis isn’t causing problems.
Neither is the lack of luxury housing
Lack of housing doesn’t mean lack of luxury housing.

Actual issues with lack of housing include traffic congestion as people are forced into longer commutes.
