"Those zoning requirements (especially in the specific areas he listed) are a creation of his bubble."
I prefer to argue about policy instead of pointing hypocrisy but this rankles me. It does seem that a lot of coastal elites want plenty of low-income, government subsidized but they have such strict zoning that no such housing can ever exist around them.

That would be the point.
It's also why refugees never seem to get settled anywhere near the coastal elites either.
They want to virtue signal that they care so much, just as long as the poors are kept far, far away from their communities.

yeah it's almost impossible to build affordable housing in these areas due to government regs (and lack of land, in NYC/SF)
this is like the criticisms of gentrification. they want (1) cheap housing that (2) is accessible to the poor and (3) overall desirable for the non-poor. this picture is their argument in tactile terms
