Because it's in San Francisco. Rent control.
Not in SF, rents are taking a huge dip while housing prices are not moving (or even going higher :/)
SF has rent control, why isn't it working?
The situation in many apartments in SF has to do with rent control.
Counter argument: SF has one of the lowest vacancy rates in the country. https://sf.curbed.com/2019/3/21/18276227/vacancy-rate-san-jo... This article is promoting a bad faith argument used by anti development activists.
62% of people in SF are renting
In SF at least, new buildings are not under rent control
Wait. Doesn't San Francisco have rent control?
Is there no rent control in SF or other US cities? How do people get priced out?
Yes. Rent in SF is off the charts. Also they (California in general) have a major homeless (housing) crises. Lots of NIMBYs blocking new building developments because of "their view".
