i mean it's conceivable that building market rate housing "lowers the price for everyone" in the sense that on a graph you can see a decline in the price at some point in time after but we don't need to lower the price, we need to lower it DRASTICALLY and IMMEDIATELY. it's not a solution. to build sufficient market rate housing in the bay area to address the housing crisis in a real way and make this a place where people who provide services and work real jobs, you would have to build like 500,000- 1 mil units tomorrow. it can NOT be done.
