Tech is one of the nation\u2019s largest growth industries, but communities that bring these often high-priced jobs to their area are finding that it\u2019s bidding up home prices. As more areas hope to become the next Silicon Valley,\u00a0some community planners are encouraging cities to take action to make sure they do not price out other residents in doing so.<\/p>\n

In a column for the May issue of Wired, Richard Florida, director of cities at the University of Toronto\u2019s Martin Prosperity Institute, writes that San Francisco is an example of how tech jobs have fueled a \u201cNew Urban Crisis.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cTech workers do well financially and bid up housing<\/a> prices, which takes a toll on everyone else, especially blue-collar and service workers, who are increasingly priced out,\u201d Florida notes.<\/p>\n

Some tech leaders say the soaring prices in the Bay Area will eventually push startups to less pricey areas of the country, such as Austin, Texas, or Omaha, Neb.<\/p>\n

Florida, however, urges city planners to loosen up land-use restrictions to increase the amount of housing that can be built to help offset the high costs of home prices in areas already seeing a run-up in appreciation. He also stresses the need for high-speed transit to help improve housing affordability by allowing workers to commute from outlying areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe solution will have to come from local government, local industry, local universities, and local people working to move beyond winner-take-all urbanism and to a more sustainable and inclusive model of development that benefits everyone,\u201d Florida notes.<\/p>\n
