Ed Lee advocated for the right housing policies. As mayor, he created the Affordable Housing Trust Fund after California ended Redevelopment and created several efforts to increase the housing supply, including the Public Land for Housing program (http://sf-planning.org/public-land-housing-formerly-public-sites-portfolio http://sf-planning.org/public-land-housing-formerly-public-s...) and the executive directive to streamline construction permits (http://sfmayor.org/article/executive-directive-17-02 http://sfmayor.org/article/executive-directive-17-02). On housing, my only criticism of Lee is that he was too slow to recognize the affordability issue.
