I live in the bay area, and wish we had more mixed zone housing. But then I see it in action in other cities and see they end up crazy expensive. So I'm not sure if it helps anything at all. Does anyone know of this actually helps or hurts?

My gut tells me they're expensive because they offer a set of benefits that otherwise similar units don't. Until they become more the norm than a stand out, they'll probably be more expensive. I've 0 data, again just what my gut says.

Actually it's just price fixing and no ownership that's doing it.

I'm sure that's a big part of it. Simple supply and demand also is probably part of it. It's a big situation, lots of influences.
