Livability, affordabilty, diversity, culture and community are all adversely impacted when the housing supply is artificially constrained the way it is in San Francisco, and the notion that, for instance, building marginally taller buildings, or legalizing the construction of backyard cottages, is going to have even the slightest impact on open space is absolute nonsense.
There was a neighborhood meeting this week about building over 1,000 units of affordable housing on what is now a parking lot, and the majority of current neighbors expressed a preference for the parking lot. Please, convince me that a massive slab of asphalt is better for San Francisco than making room for 1,000 new working class neighbors.
