Ran across this neat new development where they added 5 new houses to a lot behind an existing one. It may have been conjured overnight with some sort of #YIMBY magic, since even the google satellite view that claims to be from 2026 does not show any sign of construction.

The @sfchronicle would have us believe that higher #vacancyrates are good for tenants and helped lead to #rents in #Oakland falling 7%, which sounds like a logical and simple explanation based on a common understanding of how markets work, UNTIL you remember that that’s not a useful argument against #infillhousing and that many are saying landlords keep units vacant to increase rents. https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/oakland-apartment-rent-bedroom-18411037.php
