These are the externalities of the housing regulations in the SF bay area.  But instead of blaming their rigid regulations and Nimbyism they blame businesses which bring jobs (and people who fill those jobs) and progress to the area --as if they&#x27;d prefer decline like in Buffalo, or something similar.<p>So while we don&#x27;t want unbridled growth like Shenzhen, we do need the market to meet demand while being mindful of ecological impact.
