So it's interesting that two Federal Reserve researchers have just published a paper that adds to the clear evidence that "constraints" on the supply of private-market housing have little to do with the lack of affordability in cities like San Francisco.

It was off-limits to the public for a century until recently, when a nonprofit land trust called the Wildlands Conservancy liberated the coastline following 10 years of planning. Accessing the preserve is allowed after reaching the farthest end of Bodega Harbour, a scenic coastal community of 700 homes linked within an 18-hole golf course.
