One item on my data wishlist is a measure of commute time + traffic in SF attributable to rent control incentivizing people to stay put even as they take jobs across town. Rents have risen so dramatically that many folks could pay $15k-30k/year more on rent *in perpetuity*

And I'm not talking about "currently in a spacious place, unwilling to scale down." There are plenty of people in $1.2-1.8k rent controlled studio or one-bedroom units who would be confronting $2.8k-$3.5k rents in most safe neighborhoods — that's $12-28k/year right there.

Much more than that if you consider risk — there's no going back to the old low rate, EVER, even if the job doesn't work out in a year or two. Possibly offset by career advancement, but that's increasingly tough to evaluate. Wonder what reasonable napkin math for this looks like
