    "Affordable" housing is a joke. It's only affordable to the middle class. The poor can't afford to live in anything new and shiny.

      Sorry, building new houses for the upper middle class will make them abandon the falling apart buildings they live in now, so the poors can have them. If you don't like that, you should stop being poor.

        I wish that was true.

        When I was going to school at SJSU in the mid 2010's I lived in a tear-down apartment with three other people in two bedrooms.

        Half of our neighbors were single techbros making six figures.

        Most of the working poor in the Bay Area live 30-40 miles from where they work.

          The Bay Area is an absolute travesty, and one of the most neoliberal places in the U.S.

        Add some "urban renewal" that forcibly gentrifies "troubled neighbourhoods" and this is literally what liberal housing policy is.
