The zeitgeist moves slow until it has to. I think we’ll have to do the America thing and exhaust every other option like banning foreign property ownership and short term rentals and vacation houses before we get to actually changing local zoning laws. I’m actually not sure it will ever happen. San Francisco is more likely to see the housing density it deserves from a nuclear war that razes it and removes the nimby political machine than people coming together and doing the right thing. Like, given the choice between the status quo, and their kids being able to live in their neighborhood, our parents have chosen. And they’re the ones that show up to vote.
