That guy in the Mission District of SF who fought this for decades should deserve a windfall...

Ill try to find a link, but basically this guy got initial approval to build a building and got hit with a typhoon of zoning laws and knew he was in the right, but a bunch of SF NIMBYS were fighting him forever and he got F'd...

This guy deserves something like a payout for someone imprisoned for no reason.

But SF is _not_ one of the cities affected by the builder's remedy currently. The article says:

> Among large cities, only San Francisco is in compliance.

SF managed to delay it for 8 years until the next review with lots and lots of promises, but if it doesn't actually manage to build more units, builders remedy is coming for SF in 2030.
