Changing zoning regulations is an inefficient way to address the housing affordability problem.
Theme: Economic geography of housing affordability
Subject Article: "Silicon Valley’s Extremely Expensive Bunk Beds."
Postscript: High rents be damned, young people will figure out a way to live in the city. About 20-years ago, I did the DC internship thing. Most of the interns I knew were affiliated with a college program, which took care of the usual room and board concerns. I had no such luxury. Since Amnesty International provided a commuting stipend, I lived way out in the boondocks with the mother of my girlfriend. Rent was free. My internship supported the 4-hour round trip journey to work. The situation was less than ideal. But that's what I could afford. The urban advantage is an irrational choice.
