SF is still a desirable place to live. That doesn't mean residents are willing to make it undesirable by changing the character of the city and make it unlivable. Building housing is like building roads: it doesn't fix the problem. The problem simply expands to fill available supply. People reproduce to fill all available housing, and prices stay sky high again, only now the city is shittier. Habitat control is the only option to preserve livable cities.
