San Francisco's zoning makes it illegal to build apartments in 73.5% of the city
Honest question, is it truly possible to build yourself out of a housing crisis? Or is housing like roads, where an increased supply just leads to even more demand?<p>In other words, traffic exists not because of a lack of roads per se, but because people are willing to accept a given level of traffic when deciding whether to drive somewhere. In an area as beautiful and in demand as SF, will people essentially keep on immigrating until it&#x27;s unattractive enough that they stop, regardless of supply?<p>Edit: thanks everyone for the thoughtful replies and for pointing out some of my potentially flawed assumptions. It&#x27;s refreshing to have civilized exchanges of opinion on the internet every once in a while :)
