I agree about the Manhattan to SF comparison.<p>But if you take a less cynical view, doesn&#x27;t this mean that SF represents a remarkable opportunity?<p>At some point the population has to get it together, elect better reps, reject the nimbyism and build more towers and trains.<p>It&#x27;s actually happening as we speak. New bay bridge, extensions of muni, transbay tower, Salesforce tower, ...<p>I&#x27;m biased living in SF, just getting married, and avoiding the current market rate rents.  but I see tremendous opportunities in SF.<p>Which is crazy to think given all the advantages - nature, water, work, weather - SF has over most other places.
