The Bay area is royally fucked by zoning, full stop. You can drive around suburbs like the one you reside in and see the (high priced) slum, where taller & larger buildings have effectively been banned. Dezoning California so appropriate development can take place would allow for much of that homeless population that your police dept. chases into SF to actually be housed and perhaps take an active role in society. Housing First should be our priority, not chasing the poorest members of our society out of the ghettos that surround the average city in the US.
