2013 Housing Forum This year's Housing Forum, "San Francisco's Housing Crisis: Can the Tech Boom Help Us?" took place at the W Hotel on May 14th. The SFHAC hosted a reception followed by a moderated, but lively panel to discuss the implications of the city's tech boom on the housing market. The theme was spurred by an article from SF Magazine, the co-host for the event, that explored the connection between the rising housing prices and influx of tech jobs. This provocative topic helped create a passionate and insightful discussion between our moderator and panelists. Our speakers included: Moderator: Jon Steinberg, Editor-in-Chief, SF Magazine Panelists:
