True. I suppose the people already living there are unfortunately not eager to see affordable/tall/dense housing popping everywhere and zoning laws provide the friction. I don't know how any of it works in CA but often surprised at the low height of buildings there.

This is a NIMBY problem that we can't seem to get past. Even people who claim to care about the poor and the homeless for tax increases change their tune as soon as you try to actually build anything near them. "We have to preserve the character of the neighborhood..." :(

It really sucks because density is crucial to everything, and nobody wants it. To be fair, maybe it's because our standards for architecture are crap. Maybe if we build skyscrapers that had all kinds of cool navigable features and inter-building stuff, people would like them?

What I don't understand about SF, why all companies have to be there? So much land in US, companies could move in middle of nowhere, and build city from scratch (lobby to set all new rules, like no cars, change tax rules, whatever).

Talent pool and stuff like that? If I were to start a game studio I'd only want it in a handful of cities for that reason. (Seattle, Santa Monica, Austin, Vancouver/Toronto/Montreal, Stockholm, etc)

Can we maybe get a set of scare quotes around "talent" in that sentence?
