Yeah, that’s just the Post doing it’s usual scaremongering. Yes, what it says about the character of the city is true. No, it has nothing to do with the startup scene taking root here.<p>The difference between NY and SF is that — while, yes, NY isn’t building enough housing — not only could NY absorb the entire startup-employed population of SF without it making a visible change to our population numbers or housing pressure, we actually have vaguely sane zoning laws and have a whole lot of housing (tho not nearly enough) being added every year.
