Soviet Union had a residency system also so everyone didn't just move to Moscow.

Can we build enough housing in SF, Seattle, LA, SD to satisfy demand? Keep in mind that as soon as housing is affordable in these cities, even more people will move to them...so how much is enough?

Clearly more than right now given that all of those cities have a severe housing affordability crisis.
They do, but they are also growing, some rapidly. We know that building more freeways induces demand, I why wouldn’t building more housing induce demand also?
