I have a friend whose parents own three houses in SF.<p>When I asked about the rapidly increasing cost of rent and how it&#x27;s driving people out, he told me, paraphrasing,<p>&quot;People don&#x27;t have a right to live in San Francisco.&quot;<p>Another way of saying that you should only live there if you can afford it.<p>Needless to say, I&#x27;m inclined to believe that NIMBY&#x27;s cannot be reasoned with.
