I have never understood the mindset that new housing has to be cheap or "affordable" to middle income people. New things whether it be a car or a home is always going to be more expensive and it being in the bay increases that immensely.

I grew up in the bay and now live elsewhere because the price of living in the bay became unjustifiable to me. I don't see why so many people feel that they are entitled to live in a place that they do not own and feel its the role of the gov't to ensure that they have a place to live.
