The Cost of Unaffordable Housing
from Fifth & Mission · host San Francisco Chronicle
The politics of housing may be slowly changing. But in the Bay Area, the reality isn't. The region’s median price recently hit $1.3 million, while a new report finds that for every one new home permitted in the San Francisco and San Jose metro areas in 2009-19, more than three jobs were created. The Chronicle's housing crisis reporter, Lauren Hepler, discusses the tension between NIMBYs and YIMBYs, the surprising impact of the pandemic on housing, and who is left out when communities become more and more unaffordable. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod Learn more about your ad choices.
