San Francisco now has the highest sublease availability in the country, with about 30% of the available space in the city being listed by tenants, according to data firm CoStar Inc.

In Silicon Valley, the problem isn’t as bad. While sublease has increased to about 2.5% of total market space from about 2.2% in the fourth quarter of 2019, it is still a lot lower than the 3.5% level it hit in 2018, according to CoStar.

  • Liberals getting what they voted for, and then moving on to ruin another city with their idiotic policies

    • I had a hard time when I tried to understand the conservative mind set and what brought Evangelical Christians, business friendly capitalists, neocons looking for war and the working class white people together until it became clear when they went ahead and gave us the Donald. What they have in common is hatred born out of fear. The'christians' are afraid gay people will somehow convert their kids and themselves (sometimes with good reason lol). The neocons are afraid of other nations becoming prosperous and challenging American haegemony. The business folks are afraid the tax system that they helped write which screws working people and favors their corporations will be reformed and they'll have to pay a few percentages more. The working class are terrified at the prospect of black people who have been kept at the bottom of society catching up to them and no longer having someone to look down on

    This is a double blow to SF as a city. It was already facing the situation where mega events were moving to Vegas and other more safer cities from SF in 2019.

      Your help keeps them on the street. Helping someone get off the street does not make more homeless people. If your goal is to make crime go down and criminals don't commit crime and increase of crime would point to your policy as failing.

      End of story, if your system cannot keep people off the streets it doesn't work, period. If they cannot afford to live in the area then they ultimately don't get to live in the most expensive city in the US. I'm sorry, you don't just get to pick where you want to live if you can't afford it. No one has that privilege yet somehow homeless people do?

      You realize why homeowners don't want low income housing near them right? It brings crime, it always does. How about instead of proposing it near them you invite these people into your home. Really, practice what you preach, and I don't want to hear a peep out of you until you prove that you're willing to make the same sacrifice they would.

      Also were you proposing section 8 housing or homeless shelters? Important distinction to make because one of those is for people who have no job and no income and frequently are sick or abusers. It also doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that Honey is based in LA. I purposely chose against SF because of your shitty policies that you "claim" to help, but never do.

      Stop virtue signaling through policies which don't work. Help the people out of their situation, not coddle them into being dependent on the government. The goal is to eliminate, not assist, homelessness.

      Enforce drug laws. Enforce petty crime laws. End cash welfare. Problem will be solved in 5 years. More shelters if you want to be nice about it.

  • SF is the shitties town in US. If you drive and park there, most likely you car will get broken into within few hrs. Nobody does anything about it. Place is gross. Which is a pity because it used to be cute.
