Who is surprised by this? Prop 10's repeal puts investments at the whim of communities that misunderstand rent control.

Hw many workers live in each of the new housing units?
If three live in each unit, it is pretty close to the employment growth.
Meanwhile, the roads are gridlocked and government fees (water, sewer, garbage) continue to rise.

What are the numbers for MV? It sure looks like we have been doing more than our fair share or at least a high percentage of the housing added, certainly more than Los Altos and Palo Alto over the last several years. Can someone post numbers for each city? Thanks.

Bay Area has only limited space to build housing, it’s impossible to add same amount of new house units every year, unless land will grow by itself. People bring this question to the table are either ignorant or didn’t do their homework.

New single family homes will stagnate forever into the future, except in Gilroy and south. That's a function of the lack of undeveloped land. Any additional housing units will have to come from increased density, which means duplexes at a minimum, and more likely large apartments and condos.

Robyn, 3/unit is an aggressive assumption, but I don’t think two/unit is. That would leave a deficit of 28k units which is still a big gap.
