Bay area NIMBY rhetoric is so firmly yoked to anti-tech sentiment that I expect the data privacy panic to make it even harder for housing advocates to gain ground. But young, single tech talent can pay their $3300/mo rent & they'll still be here at $4000+. So who will have to go?
New families, recent graduates in non-tech fields, conventional small businesses, non-profits? Saving the neighborhood, mkay.
I'm sure there is *some* cost of living so high that even the VCs and VC-backed tech startups that actually matter wouldn't be able to hold their noses anymore. But the region would lose *every other kind* of young/new resident first
NIMBY rests on fear/disgust at recent change, but the static housing supply only exacerbates these changes. Every move brings another rent-controlled unit back up to market. Long-term renters can't afford to move freely, so they're at the mercy of terrible jobs or worse commutes
