Comments on: Who’s to blame for San Francisco’s housing cost spiral? https://www.overlawyered.com/2016/01/who-caused-san-franciscos-housing-cost-spiral/ Chronicling the high cost of our legal system Sun, 10 Jan 2016 20:38:18 +0000 hourly 1 By: PaulB https://www.overlawyered.com/2016/01/who-caused-san-franciscos-housing-cost-spiral/comment-page-1/#comment-331985 Sun, 10 Jan 2016 20:38:18 +0000 http://overlawyered.com/?p=57056#comment-331985 You greatly overestimate how techies might interpret this attack on them because a large percentage of them think it’s not them that the play refers to. As the article points out, an overwhelming percentage of SF households are renters and all who live in pre-1979 constructed units are covered by rent control, which is the overwhelming majority of units given the resistance to allowing new construction. I’d guess a majority of the parents there benefit from rent control and see no relationship between allowing new construction and their personal economic situation.
