We all know that zoning regulations are to blame for low supply of houses.

Human tendency is to blame these zoning regulations as they do not let you get into a house and drive prices to the sky. The same people after buying the house start loving the zoning regulations.

How many of you think that the problem will get so worse that one day it will become inhabitable and companies and the new generation will just move out. What will then happen to the house prices ?

    If you like crowded city life, go live in SF NY.
    We enjoy living outside. Stop converting our environment.

      Idiotic argument. Tech is not going to leave Silicon Valley because some employees can’t get cheap housing.

      OP
      You are nobody to decide who stays and who leaves. Just wait and watch the Bay Area go to the gutter and the driver will be greed of people like you.

  • Yes it's building restrictions, including zoning laws, permitting laws, local review boards, and other building costs, that are suppressing housing construction.

    I don't understand the rest of your post. Even if housing units stayed constant for decades, eventually the high cost would cause the migration of new college grads to this area to stop, and start moving to other tech hubs. There's no reason to believe tech companies would reduce their offices in Silicon Valley. They would at most stop growing entirely.

    What logic is this? What is the problem that “will get so worse”

    That people won’t be able to afford houses? Move to other places like east San Jose and you won’t have problems with your budget. Can’t have your cake and eat it too.
