      Another fantastic article about the growing YIMBY movement. But news coverage doesn't vote. Sign up to volunteer for the YIMBY Ballot prop today! http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/11/12/homes-for-human-beings-millennial-driven-anti-nimby-movement-is-winning-with-a-simple-message/ …

      Perhaps the tech owners could use some of their land to build housing for their workers.

      I may be mistaken, but I do believe that they are trying. (Checks.) Nope, not mistaken ... although they are not-unexpectedly being dicks about it.http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/10/02/google-backs-down-from-threat-to-cancel-mountain-view-housing/ …

      Then again, the city keeps trying to stop the housing.http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/06/23/mountain-view-slashes-planned-google-area-housing/ …

      Simple solution. No housing, no office space. And MV is also trying to wiggle out of the rent control ordinance passed by voters last year.

      The problem is that the cities want to approve the office, retail and hotel. They get to collect higher taxes off that. Every municipality has a high incentive to add office/retail/hotel and not build housing, and hope someone else will build the housing.

      That has been true for a long time. Commercial development also requires fewer services.

      Yes. Which is why we need to change the tax structures so governments don't have these incentives to behave badly. And eventually incorporate into a single regional government.

      Neither of those are likely to happen. I’m old enough to have voted against Prop 13, and it’s still hugely popular.

      You asked what we fight for. Those two are long term goals, and necessary to solve the underlying structural problems. What people have done, people can undo. We can do big things, if we try.

          Have you seen the real estate contributions to politicians? They’re No. 1!

          Ok, so you want us to give up and not try to create political change?
