Did you... read the link? The difference between San Francisco and Vancouver is that Vancouver allowed developers to go up. Vancouver now has more insanely expensive housing than it did but no more cheaper housing. The issue is you can't knock down expensive low houses and build cheap condos; the act of building is in and of itself expensive. You cannot take a business center surrounded by water on three sides, wave a magic wand and make it affordable for new families. All you can do is make existing owners richer.
