    So wait, is anyone supposed to be left there other than the few well off people who can already afford it comfortably??

    How do you expect that not to immediately collapse?

      That’s the point, the people doing the work move away, the market falls to a level people can live in the city, everything balances out again. The only issue would be making sure the people stay away and the issue doesn’t happen again.

        But that’s not what would happen because the people who can’t afford to live there are mostly the people who make society function.

        You can’t have a working city without the people at the bottom. So what you are proposing is that the city should collapse.

        Rather than, you know… just making sure people can afford to live there instead…

          The city won’t collapse, the rich that want to live in the bay will see to it. The whole point is there’s an overabundance of people that want to live in the same area, if the leftovers move to cheaper areas away from the bay than the housing crisis will be less impacted as a whole and prices will begin to fall.
