Sunnyvale is likewise overcrowded and parents are PISSED [1]. Can't say I blame them--if you drop a massive amount of money to get into a neighborhood with the school being a large driver of that, only to be told "sorry, we're overcrowded and you're kid is going to go to this school that is known to be significantly worse" I know I'd be livid and consider whatever means necessary to fix it.
While SF's random lottery system certainly has its issues, it does actually solve for some of these problems.
