Me thinks the crucial stuff is mentioned at the end: The market never provides for the bottom (quartile, more?) of the highly stratified society. Only the state will. But economic inequality leads to greater political inequality in which those who need, have less power to get.

That's what I've been thinking a lot about too. Pushes to expand market-rate development in places like SF seem like they're really pushes to make housing more affordable to *already affluent people.*

Land and construction costs in SF basically mean no market-driven supply expansion will increase affordability in the price range that median-income (or lower) households can pay.
