Idk. It seems like the mistake was enacting these tax breaks in the first place, without putting the necessary effort into building enough housing to support the new jobs (or improving transit and building out more densely populated suburbs). The ideal solution was probably to invest heavily in housing 5 years ago. But since it's too late for that, at this point it's just damage control. Even if SF does finally get moving on building more housing, it's so far past having enough of it in the reasonably near future that a small incentive for jobs to go elsewhere probably would help things in the next ~5 years. As far as progressive redistribution schemes go, this one actually makes more sense to me than most (as much as I hate to agree with Peskin et al).
