But SF actually doesn't need that policy. Everyone was leaving NYC pre Giuliani because it was a hellhole that was completely undesirable to be in. After NYC became gentrified and the crime went away the city began regaining its population. SF doesn't have this problem, despite all the dysfunction, homeless, and small time crime (it's no where close to being as dangerous as NYC in the 1980s) people have a strong desire to live here. No one is going to bring in a broken window policy because it doesn't matter to the people living here right now. There's still high demand, locals are making money if they got in when it was right. It doesn't matter. In their eyes there technically isn't a problem, the problem is for people who aren't on rent control and who moved here from other places. The locals here don't really care about that because they know if you leave someone is going to replace you. It's also easy for them to point the blame on new industry for causing homelessness not lack of new development. I don't see things changing.
