I don't know the current state of zoning in San Francisco, but if no mass rezoning has happened there then how do we know it would reduce prices? Isn't that just using a hypothetical prediction to support an argument.

A good example would be places where there were mass rezonings and prices were then reduced, which is what I thought was what was being said, but perhaps not.

Minneapolis and Auckland were the ones I brought up that have seen affordability improve after mass rezonings. Lots you can find online about it.

San fran is an example of the opposite. Not allowing “gentrification” or densification that kicks lower income people out of “affordable homes”.

But now all you have is super crappy homes for rent for 6k a month or 3mil to buy. The rich still outbid the poor, and less housing means those without the resources are more quickly pushed out.
