The market isn't being ALLOWED to to solve the problem. Allowing the market to solve the problem would happen if we significantly upzoned the land. (ie, we need to double the allowable density across SF). The best way to produce more affordable housing isn't that build so many houses that the market price is BELOW the affordable housing price. But if you really care about affordable housing, one thing that could be done is incentives. IE, if you make 30% of your units affordable then in exchange, you can build you building to be 3 times the height of whatever it is currently zoned for. YIMBY people would absolutely be in favor of an incentive like this, that triples density, in exchange for making 30% affordable.
