All that article says is that a few super-expensive building projects won&#x27;t bring down apartment rents for the rest of us.  Well, duh.  It wasn&#x27;t supposed to.  It was catering to the very high end of the market.<p>Change zoning restrictions and make it a lot easier to build denser housing everywhere.  One lot that currently supports a single house could easily support a five-floor, ten-unit building with much higher aggregate rent than the house.<p>I don&#x27;t understand how anyone can say with a straight face that adding more housing exacerbates the problem of not having enough housing.  It&#x27;s not like there&#x27;s infinite demand, and if you add ten million houses then eleven million people will instantly move to San Francisco.  You don&#x27;t say that giving a starving man food will only make his problems worse.<p>Just curious, do you own real estate in San Francisco?
