Every time one of these articles appears it seems like the comments always mention prop 13, rent control, NIMBY and environmental regulations, and a difficult permitting process as the underlying reasons for the high rents in sf. It seems pretty obvious that if the market had its way the whole area would look like Tokyo.

Why can't we move beyond this and say "OK keep your 100 year old row houses and vineyards", lets continue to decentralize tech and create a world where moving to sf is not required to work in a startup?
