I think this article is spot on. I was struck when this Geneva city planner acknowledged that they have to fight the nimby movement to keep their city's infrastructure balanced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUfwIPzh_MM (from an urban infrastructure planning course on Coursera). We need someone this objective managing our housing infrastructure at least across the whole bay area.

If you listen to the Cupertino mayor, everything is fine as it is. According to a recent Better Cupertion Q&A with the mayor and with city councilman, Apple isn't really adding any new employees with their new headquarters. The cities are the ones who keep adding office space and turning away housing! Their denial is so upsetting, especially when you inevitably find that the people in charge are homeowners.

We need to stop letting the foxes run the hen house!
