 Reply  Posted by SFRealist 0 years ago Futurist: how will increased height and density lower housing costs in SF? It's economics. We have a high demand for housing here for many reasons. We severely limit supply. When demand is high and supply is limited, prices will be high. (And please, spare us the idiocy of claiming that SF housing isn't subject to the laws of supply and demand. That is a factually false statement.) The way to limit price is to either lower demand (i.e. Detroit) or increase supply. No one is saying that housing costs will be lowered. Prices are high and will continue to rise as long as our economy stays strong. It's about changing the rate of increase. Reply  Posted by Futurist 0 years ago
