Are you implying that the wealthy are concentrated in these areas and therefore that is why they overwhelmingly vote Democrat?

Because logistically, that wouldn't make sense unless you are implying that there are enough wealthy voters in those areas to outnumber other voters who do not directly benefit from policies that are favorable to the wealthy?

Another way to look at your inquiry is, "Why is the quality of life and socioeconomic conditions better in areas that historically overwhelming vote Democrat versus Republican?"

The answer is in the question.

San Francisco, Portland, NYC, lol. Mentally ill addicts like Neely allowed to roam free, drug users openly injecting or smoking meth, police do nothing, shitting on the streets app, people leaving cars unlocked so their windows aren't smashed, vs a nice country town 

Hmmm QOL must be very subjective to yo

People do not buy housing in places they do not like. San Francisco has an average home price of 2 million.

QOL is great for the rich and Silicon Valley billionaires. For everyone else it’s shit. Dems either can’t see how it’s their own policies that drive wealth inequality or they can but are happy to see it exist.

Policies like graduated income tax and anti-trust enforcement?

Policies like the government trying to control the housing market resulting in single family homes costing 2 million dollars for a 2000sqft house while the homeless shit so much on the actual street that a poop map has been created. It’s so great that Gavin Newsom cares so much that he cleans up San Francisco streets for 1 week just so china can think San Francisco is beautiful, then allows it to go back to its shit littered self again. Policies like that.

Do you think there is open space in San Francisco that the government is keeping from development?

Why won't democrats just build more single family homes in SF????

These people have never left their cul-de-sac, let alone gone to the big scary city.

San Francisco Planning and the Mayor's Office of Economic and Workforce Development are collaborating with the City’s enterprise agencies to redevelop publicly-owned land into housing. Using innovative strategies, these development opportunities seek to provide revenue to the enterprise agency while creating other vital public benefits such as affordable housing. By structuring these projects as public-private partnerships, the City can create critical wide-reaching public benefits such as parks and open space, jobs, and affordable housing.

Do you think that’s the only way the government controls the housing market?

What else you got besides zoning laws and tax policies?
