Housing cannot be both affordable and and a good investment. The definition of a good investment is a piece of property that has a price that increases over time. The nature of exponential growth means that eventually housing will become unaffordable if it is perpetually a good investment.

Society's expectation that housing is a good investment results in people taking on significant debt to buy increasingly expensive homes. The consequence is that homeowners have a huge incentive to suppress the construction of additional housing, to inflate the values of their homes. And when housing prices do fall, people's financial lives are ruined. Contrast metros like SF, Portland, and Seattle with places like Tokyo where homes can be bought for < $400,000. A big part of this is that housing is expected to be a depreciating asset: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGbC5j4pG9w

With all respect- Docker packages a known code stack in a box. WASM creates a whole new code stack.

Docker, with all its problems, solves a huge problem for the enterprise. WASM, cool as it is, creates a new one.

I would love to see a WASM + unikernel builder, and some lightweight node scheduler that could plug into kubernetes, so you could run thousands of WASM packages on a node within a k8s cluster, rather than 10s of containers. That increase in leverage would justify the new code stack risk.

It’s about time. Landlords have been exploiting tenants in California (and across the US) for far too long.
It really depends on the landlord. I just renewed my lease on a single-family home in a relatively hot market with no price increase. Of the 7 or 8 different units I've rented across 4 different states, only 2 of them had landlords that routinely nudged the rent upward at lease renewal. My personal experience is that unless someone is really working to maximize profit per unit, they're usually content to leave well enough alone, and only raise rates when the unit goes empty. I know multiple people who've rented for 15+ years with no increase in rent.

Indexes and aggregations may show something, but it's important to remember that they're lossier than many people appreciate. You'd have to dig into the data to learn how representative it may or may not be. Since small-time landlords are hard to collect data from, most of these city rental indexes are probably relying on large-scale apartment landlords who are constantly trying to squeeze maximum price-per-unit. I'd say you'd do well to take it with a grain of salt.

even if you take the string as `const std::string &` you will still end up with implicit string construction if someone passes a char* . Sure you can use std::string_view as an argument type to prevent this simple case, but it doesn't work in all cases.

Consider a std::map<std::string, Blah> for example, if you have a char* and you want to index in to the map you are going to also end up with an intermediate string construction b/c STL associative containers don't have heterogenous lookup. Note that this was fixed in std::map::find in C++14 [0], but still is there for operator[].

I highly doubt that. At least in LA county, this place was built up in a giant friggin profit-motivated hurry.

Now, if we're talking about planned cities built in the 80s in orange county, maybe we have a point! Maybe.

SF has a similar story of sorts. Building code regulations were heavily relaxed after the 1906 earthquake in fear that people wouldn't rebuild otherwise.

Businesses will build whatever is most profitable. If it's more profitable to de-regulate and unzone everything, then they would be lobbying like hell to get that.
Governments respond to complaints from the masses.

From what I've heard, rent in a lot of Californian cities is extremely expensive, so I assume people are complaining about the price of their rent... probably statewide to some extent.

Hence the new bill. It's just a reaction to a temporary problem.

Which will probably stay in place long past the problem is solved!

The only way to drive down rents AS A WHOLE is to increase the supply of housing.

Any legislation that makes renting less profitable will make BUILDING RENTAL PROPERTY less profitable.

This sort of thing, on the whole, makes rents increase by decreasing housing supply.

> What if something crazy happens to the economy, say the dollar gets devalued, and all you have is rental property for income?

In San Francisco rent control is indexed to inflation. If the dollar is devalued, inflation increases, and you get to increase your rent more. The same is true for Oregon's new law, which permits 7% increases in addition to inflation.

> You're forgetting another option: deregulate and let the market compete.

Rent control is about providing housing security and controlling volatility. Over the long-term unfettered markets may produce optimal supply, but in the short-term people can easily be pushed onto the street. As Keynes said, "economists set themselves too easy, too useless a task if in tempestuous seasons they can only tell us that when the storm is past the ocean is flat again". (The more famous bit is, "in the long term we're all dead.")
Perhaps "devaluation"?

> yet supply is not rising to meet demand, largely because existing owners oppose new construction.

So when over-regulation drives up prices, the appropriate response is to introduce new regulations to fight the other regulations? Because that’s exactly what this is. It won’t even improve the problem. The problem is that there are more people who want to live in California than there is housing. The reason for that is because regulations prohibit the market from increasing supply at a rate that comes anywhere near keeping up with demand.

Not true with beamforming. Imagine the chip as a little rotating radar dish.
C/C++ compilers will happily optimize standard library functions. A call to printf that doesn't use any % formatting will usually get converted into a call to puts, for example. And strlen of a string literal is of course replaced with a constant integer, and strcpy will be converted to memcpy if the length is known. And memcpys of known length are of course emitted with appropriate move sequences.

> it's a local maxima that is reducing our ability to talk about long-term sustainable planning.

I mostly agree with this, but it's still a useful talking point to illustrate the failings of the current distribution of food to people who need food. In a more general context it's a disingenuous data point to bring up that does have long term sustainability issues. The issue of which food we're producing where is a different part of industrialized food production that's also worth time discussing for sure, but not my aim here. Even if we were to move to a better way of generating food for 9 billion people (say, radically via not farming meat on industrial scales) the problem of food distribution would remain. It certainly remains and grows in importance if our supply contracts. However, I don't think there's dire concerns that we should contract our food output, just many characteristics of how we farm our food.
Thanks, but there's this quote in the article that you linked:

"it is believed that game developers will receive ongoing revenue based on how much time users spend playing their games"

So it looks like they're paying advances (significant - $1-$3M) against some kind of royalty agreement based on time spent playing their game. So not a fixed cost (but perhaps not everyone gets the advances against royalties deal?)

Edit: I just looked over at the Stratechery forums and it seems like others are questioning this as well

"For it to truly be a fixed cost, the participating game developers must be commoditized. Otherwise, they will demand increased payments as Apple’s revenues go up.

That may well be the case for games, but I think it’s worth noting because Ben has repeatedly made the same claim respecting Netflix, where talent is not commoditized, and has a history of negotiating a fairly consistent share of revenue over time. There, it’s not reasonable to characterize Netflix’s costs as fixed, in the big picture. So it’s importantly to look more closely, rather than to assume that outright purchases of content translate to a long-term fixed cost structure independent of subscriber count/revenues."
That's not how it works. The moon is 1% of Earth's mass, but has 16% of our gravity.

I'm saying that game theoretic situation you proposed where every landlord raises their price by a similar amount is exactly what the law is working to limit to a fixed ceiling because the situation you described already exists in enough areas that there's political will to do something to limit the maximum yearly percentage increase.

And the cap was explicitly set to be below the average rates of increase for many areas because the effects of the higher increases in those areas is what the law is explicitly trying to prevent.

Spreading the increase to a leaner year only works if the unit is below the market rate. If the unit is already within 7% or so of market rate, then market won't bear that increase. Instead the tenant will move out to a market rate unit. If the entire city increases in lockstep that means people near the bottom of the market will be literally priced out and either move to another city or resort to sleeping in their cars or become homeless, but everyone else will just downgrade the size of the unit they rent since once the price of the current unit exceeds their ability to pay. At the very top end of the market that will mean units will have decreasing occupancy rates assuming the landlord refuses to compete on price to increase demand and insists on capturing the 7% increase.
Housing in San Francisco is not a human right.

But your anger is misdirected. The distortion in the housing market is the direct and predictable result of specific government policy, of which TFA is just more of the same.

In this case by “more of the same” what I mean is a policy which will do nothing to solve the problem. This particular law seems to be relatively harmless.
I mostly agree, but we should get rid of prop 13 completely. Just put a lien on the property rather than having the state seize the property if the "concern" is that we don't want people kicked out of their homes for property taxes.

The biggest myth is that this kind of stuff actually helps the less-powerful. In reality, it just means they are hurt twice: government artificially suppressing supply, and government manipulating prices which has bad side effects for mamy even if its good for a few.

Also, in reality, the powerful often don't get hurt, and arbitrary market manipulations just introduce new ways for them to get an advantage somehow.

Some PMs will try to act the opposite, but if you're the property owner, you're HIRING the property manager to find you tenants and/or manage the rental process. Their responsibilities are defined in the property management contract.
