Man Trawls 30 Years of San Fran Rental Ads; Discovers Reason For Insane Housing Prices

I'm going to close with a lesson for cities that are adding jobs and/or wealth faster than homes but are not yet San Francisco: Portland, Seattle, Austin, Denver, Minneapolis. Maybe Oakland and Los Angeles and San Diego and DC still, too. For the love of god, keep adding homes. Keep adding homes so things don't get any worse and you're not trapped in a lose-lose-lose shitstorm like San Francisco. ... Rent control? This particular renter is nervous but sure, maybe try it out as long as you are working hard to ensure that it's not going to get in the way of continuing to add homes.
