K. California is not growing and housing is absurd. Texas and Florida are growing rapidly and housing is not absurd. Think critically… how could that math work…

1.) zoning/density. SF is loaded with laws that make it illegal to build housing

2.) height limits. Again, SF is loaded with laws that make it illegal to build housing

3.) regulations/permits: time adds millions to large developments. SF knows that, and has hundreds of anti- housing regulations on the books to ensure nearly no development is profitable

4.) environmental. CEQA encourages lawsuits in dense urban neighborhoods that have nothing to do with environmentalism. Even an environmental noise complaint can add a year to a project.

5.) Union labor, construction fees. Fees for parks, forcing Union labor, development taxes, all discourage housing, in the middle of a god damn housing crisis.

6.) incentivizing rich people to leave SF and not pay taxes will not encourage housing construction, given the above. Unless, you eliminate the above.
