Rents are sky-high in SF because it is very hard to build new housing, due to laws like this. It's sad to see the city turn into a weird hostile clusterfuck split between people paying 5k a month and $200 a month, clinging onto rent control, due to this kind of obstructionist NIMBYism. It could be a metropolis with enough housing for everyone.

I say, if you don't want to live in the city and deal with the constant change that has been a part of cities since cities were invented, then you shouldn't live in the city.

Wasn't there a group meeting at Sudo yesterday to organize against
this? How did that go?
