I know, but I wasn't asked for causation or proof. I was asked for data, or evidence. Presumably, I was being asked for evidence consistent with my hypothesis and unlikely to have occurred by random chance. That's what I gave.

Besides which: I never claimed that this was the only factor. I claimed it was a factor. Elsewhere, I acknowledged that there are other factors. I'm sure the the Oregon policies you list are among them.

Everybody not-tech and many tech did move to Sacramento and Oregon. They must have missed all the locals there screaming about getting priced out over the last half decade.

Layoffs and back-to-office mandates are the best thing that could happen to SF.

And homelessness is out of control in Sacramento, arguably worse than SF. But, I'm sure that has nothing to do with the influx of people and rising housing costs
