Abolish all local input into zoning and transit development, in favor of a pro-development Bay Area regional zoning and transit czar. That's the only thing that'd make enough of a difference to actually matter. Along with reforms that allow developers to up-zone existing lots by providing equivalent-or-better housing for tenants during and after construction. Basically a gigantic middle finger to NIMBYs - you got us into this affordability mess, so now we're building shit and you just have to deal with it. Something like that would make residential construction available and cheap enough to fix the regional affordability issues. And that's the only thing that'd make up for enacting rent controls - making housing cheap enough that the controls are irrelevant.
