Is San Francisco approving enough new homes?
Who’s counting? Federal housing officials say San Francisco has permitted less than 10 units in the first two months of 2024. But city officials say that doesn't tell the whole story.

If it makes anyone feel any better, I remember a story not long ago about Vancouver's Skytrain system being dependant on floppies and DOS. If it ain't broke (and mission critical).... I guess.
