>Proposition B passed in SF just this month

Preventing the erection of yet more high rise condos will do nothing to solve San Francisco's acute shortage of affordable housing.

Those who care most about affordable housing in SF are, in any case, leaving in droves or have already left.

What I meant to say is that voters don't actually want affordable housing because then poor people could move in next door defeating the whole scheme. This is why limiting new developments is system working as intended, as its constituents want it to work.
