I can’t speak for Manhattan, but we’ve got three fundamental problems in the Bay Area

1) Tech jobs pay way better than anything else and everyone wants to live in close-ish proximity to tech jobs in Silicon Valley. So prime locals end up with bidding wars that an average person can’t win. This forces people two or three hours from jobs.

2) We have a lot of NIMBYs. Suburban areas (those in the extreme north, East and South bays) have open space or space that can be redeveloped into multifamily homes are getting massive pushback. Cities usually allow developers in but there inevitably is someone who its able to get a growth limiting initiative on the ballot.

3) We have an infrastructure crunch. There is the reality there isn’t that much space in most of the Bay Area. Our roads and facilities can only handle so much. Don’t help we have a drought. That plus tech demand means prices are high and we’re just not able to meet the demand.
