> I am mystified by housing/anti-gentrification advocates' refusal to consider building new housing stock as a solution to this problem.

Because an anti-gentrification advocate is bascially saying, "you don't have the right to desire to live in my neighborhood, only I should be allowed to desire to live in my neighborhood"




"... that I moved to as part of the last round of gentrification."


That's the real kicker. They are all "forty-niners".


Bit ironic given that those complaining the loudest likely displaced others in the not-so-distant past.
