Speaking of housing numbers, I'd like to see the Bay Area's pro-housing folks have a clearer definition of success.
Newsom's support for 3.5 million new housing units in California by 2025 seems in the realm of numbers that might help. Could swing my vote.

Maybe success is construction of: San Francisco: 50,000 units/year Oakland: 40,000 Berkeley: 10,000 other on BART/Caltrain: 100,000 other: 0

I know people who think this is unrealistic, and people who think this is far too small relative to what we should do for the environment.

Great to see Moretti's op-ed, but even better if economists offered estimates of how construction would help prices.
Just like fires, bad housing policies in California can carry horrendous social and environmental costs nyti.ms/2AiQlMo
