San Francisco is the most fascinating real estate market in the United States right now. Home prices aren’t skyrocketing in San Francisco anymore.

The party line is that home prices in San Francisco have gone up so fast, in part, because of the low supply of homes for sale in San Francisco. And the low supply of homes for sale in San Francisco is usually blamed on San Francisco’s hostility to building new homes.
That’s true but there’s another obvious reason for the low supply that everyone forgets.
