Property developers will give you "just enough to not get fired" and people grow accustomed to the worsening conditions until they hit their tipping point and leave for much less environmentally friendly suburban sprawl because of the human-hostile policies being pushed that are only tolerated by the young, the poor, and people who just don't care about space (likely without families).
I almost never see small children in my neighborhood and there are a good set of reasons why.
That tipping point came last year for me and I moved to suburbia for exactly the reasons above. Zero regrets and I get to have space to have a real garden and fruit trees on my property. Couldn't ever get that in high-density housing environment.
+1 and i still live in a condo complex. But my rent is only 66% what it was, my place is 10% larger, yes I spend a tiny bit more on car costs. But frankly I am happier here than I was living downtown San Francisco.
