A lot of people are up in arms because if you include Muni bus/rail as "transit hubs," supposedly 96% of San Francisco is vulnerable to significant and sudden height increases (from 4 to 8 stories).
That would, indeed, be a pretty drastic change to the landscape, but more housing is desperately needed, so it seems the pros (better for climate, better for lower income residents, etc.) outweigh the aesthetic cons here.
