I honestly am always annoyed by the focus on affordable housing. If you build enough high end apartments the prices for that will eventually reduce prices at the upper end enough that people who'd usually live in mid tier housing might be able to afford it and thus the prices on the mid and lower end start coming down as well. What I think needs to change that we build low buildings while in a severe housing crises. I'd like to see a height restriction that has a minimum number of stories rather than a max. When I lived in SF they were building 4 story buildings in Mission Bay. That's crazy. We need housing! Let's build 40 stories or even better 80!
