"-because of it's out of control housing regulation"
Arguably SF doesnt have stricter regulation than any other big city (save for seismic) - but the demand far exceeds the units the type of regulation the city has, will allow to be built.
The zoning definitely is more restrictive than other major cities.
And it's even worse in the Silicon Valley towns - Palo Alto, Mountain View, etc. The zoning restrictions there are absolutely bananas.
How, specifically, is zoning different in Mountain View from elsewhere in the Bay Area?
It’s not but it’s true that there are some restrictions in many cities on building higher than 1-story or 2-story houses.
I didn't say it was.
