San Francisco has the highest home prices in the nation, and the city's housing activists have tried just about everything, but now they're really thinking outside the box.
The housing group San Francisco Bay Area Renters Federation is launching an effort, dubbed Sue the Suburbs, aimed at filing a lawsuit against the city of Lafayette. They argue the city's decision to build a luxury, gated community instead of a moderate income apartment complex is contributing to the housing crisis, according to the San Francisco Magazine.
The Bay Area is in a housing crisis amidst a population and economic boom, but in the last seven years, many counties have built only half the needed number of housing units.
