First they priced themselves of out a place to live. Their job is on the line next. The Bay Area is not like Oklahoma where builders can expand like building one subdivision after another. http://www.vox.com/2016/4/23/11490758/oakland-housing-crisis |

I’d say that this article is an indication that under the Obama administration the technology industry has greatly prospered and the housing market has totally recovered…

Of course, but didn't Obama and leftists always say, "what about the 99 percenters?" Hope and change, only if you are the top one percenter.

Bay area real estate prices are the market at work. Not sure what "progressive" has to do with it. It's classical microeconomics. The economy is booming. More money, increased quantity demanded, limited supply = higher prices. |

It's nothing to brag about from a progressive pov The housing market hasn't really recovered, yet it's priced way above most younger buyers can afford, and it's no coincidence that places like SF, LA and NY are having exploding homeless numbers in their streets This is part of out new Dystopia. It's where rich stiffs like the Clintons can rent apartments in NYC and the Hamptons for $200,000 a month, while the peasantry lay outside the gates |

That's kind of the irony. If a city like Detroit is run by progressives, conservatives like Drudge whine and cry about how there are no jobs and housing is dirt cheap because no one wants to live there. But if a city like San Francisco is run by progressives, conservatives like Drudge whine about how the booming economy has led to overcrowding and housing prices are through the roof. Basically if a progressive runs a city, conservatives like Drudge will find something to whine about. |

What do you suggest be done to get San Francisco housing costs to be priced so that "most young buyers" can afford it? |

Perhaps NYC, LA, and SF are overpopulated? You'd be surprised how quick real estate prices would drop after a few million were deported. |

The prices are not the free market at work....the libs via onerous restrictions and regulations on development have created an artificial scarcity driving up costs much higher than they would be if the free market was allowed to work.... |

Have you been to San Francisco? There really is no where left to build. |

Where are you going to build in these cities? These metros were built out decades ago. |

That's an excellent argument not to admit immigrants. |

Yes, I'd be very surprised if the most expensive real estate in the country was affected at all by deportations. Are millions of millionaires going to be kicked out? That seems unlikely. |

I admit I find the idea that illegal immigrants, working for wages at the complete bottom of the scale, are causing overcrowding in San Francisco to be pretty ludicrous. They simply can't afford to live there. |

Changing one and two would likely increase prices. Three is speculative at best. Four is basically communities being able to decide their own standards, which they are unlikely to give up. So your argument, or that the one you've C&P'd, seems to be "make the place less desirable and you can pack more people in". That's never been a good long-term development strategy.

So, you're of the opinion that being able to evict people from their rent controlled apartments would make prices go down rather than just leaving more poor people on the streets while the wealthy scooped up the newly renovated apartments? Well, ain't you a dreamer. |

No one here accused either of you having a greater than high school level understanding of economics. |

And no one has accused you of having more than an elementary school mentality. But then some things go without saying. |
