should we just be politely explaining supply and demand? could we have just been politely explaining supply and demand this whole time?

for years, assuming ulterior motive in the anti-housing movement, i tossed around the glib "wow, it's almost as if you don't understand supply and demand 
," but what i'm starting to realize is... ok wait, i actually think many people genuinely don't understand supply and demand

Or for whatever ideological reason, believe the sole source of the supply or demand (as is convenient) should be the government.

I’m not sure it’s supply and demand. It is however Georgian economics, as described by Henry George in Progress and Poverty, especially in a place like SF. Aka “economic rent” which is conveniently left out of the Capital vs Labor dynamic.

George is the best teacher of supply and demand anyway. Just give this book to every single San Franciscan.

Yes. I legitimately think someone needs to explain the effect of increasing supply (even if it isn’t low income housing)
-
I agree with this but all evidence I have seen suggests that even if you do explain supply/demand/price to people they still won’t change their minds.

It's worse than lack of understanding. It's a pretty common view among progressives that supply and demand and the laws of economics in general are libertarian fantasies. That's what allows them to accept the fantasy that is MMT.
