"high rents"

This quote from the article mirrors what I had previously read elsewhere regarding why rents and home prices soared in SF.


"Even as officials offered tax breaks for tech companies to headquarter themselves downtown, they mostly refused to lift residential height limits, modify zoning rules or allow significant new construction to accommodate the influx of new workers. They then expressed shock that rents and home prices were soaring - and blamed the tech companies."


I could only laugh when it stated that officials "expressed shock that rents and home prices were soaring - and blamed the tech companies".
