      That makes a lot of sense about the relative state of things. I’d argue that the narrative of current circumstances matters as much as the reality, bc that’s a huge part of what shapes human emotional response. What should billionaires be doing more of?

      Most of the problems in SF are due to lack of affordable housing-which was made much worse with the influx of extreme wealth into the city. SF has more billionaires than any other city in the world. If they chose, moneyed residents could completely cure the homeless crisis.

      It’s an interesting proposition, but if wealthy private citizens started unilaterally building homes for homeless, wouldn’t that also create a backlash from public bc the wealthy are “working outside the system of government,” etc.?

      I think there are trade offs for more wealth moving into a city - asset values are going to appreciate due to high demand. To me, combating this problem is an issue for city government to fix. It sounds like affordable middle class housing is what is getting squeezed the most..

      ...so young professionals are overpaying for rooms in cheaper and cheaper housing, putting downward pressure on less wealthy people who have less housing options. The solution is obviously density... mid rise buildings (not exceeding 4-5 floors), with walkable urban planning.

      Paris is a great example of a densely populated city with beautiful architecture and urban design that is scalable to human mobility (ie mostly walking)...

      If there’s one policy I think wealthy people could do that makes sense, it’s providing money for grants for city officials to travel across the world and see non car centric urban planning - literally go see it and experience it for 3-4 weeks per year to get a different view.

      Democratic Party has full@control of the government in SF and the Bay Area, from the state government all@the way down to the municipal government. They could enact whatever las they want, yet they haven’t done anything constructive to solve the housing problem to date.

      Ultimately, housing and public services are the responsibility of elected officials who represent their voters. So imo this is a dynamic issue that requires dynamic solutions, not something the wealthy can just solve on their own....

      No. Housing and public service is all of our responsibility. And don't you think that those with the greatest capacity to help, should do the most?
