The supply and demand model doesn’t work for Bay Area housing. The supply is high-rise, market-rate housing; the demand is housing for working people with low incomes. Property owners would rather have vacant apartments taking a tax loss than lower the rent.Increased market-rate supply has not and will not lower rents. They will never be “affordable” to those camping in the street.
