If they'd get rid of the ridiculous rent control, that would help a lot on both sides.
When I moved out there I considered buying a 3 story home out by Ocean Beach. Then to afford it renting out 2 of the 3 floors. After doing some risk analysis (researching the legal aspects) there was no way I could do that and expect to not get burned in a multitude of ways.
So it creates this really shady market for illegal rentals (you have to drive around to find them) and an adversarial way of living in this supposed liberal utopia.
Not my cup of tea, but I have many friends that love living in the city.
