Do you feel you would be entitled to affordable housing in Atherton, Vail or Highland Park - or you’re ok with that because they don’t make any accomodation to the lower classes?

Would you support bulldozing Dolores Park and building towers there. Try suggesting that at the next YIMBY meeting and watch their heads explode.

I’m not sure where those places are, I assume it’s not the part of the Bay Area I’m in. But I’m okay with making it legal to build affordable and high density housing in currently low density areas.
Take a bus to Dolores Park (SF) this weekend and see who you can convince to give it up.

Otherwise, please exactly identify the “low density” area of SF you want to force your will upon.

Make it legal to develop high density housing on land you already own… no need to force anyone to do anything.

I don’t live in SF or know anything about it.
