I don't get the widespread notion that a city of mostly SFH = morally bad Forget morality. A city with a large demand for housing that refuses to allow higher density is inevitably going to end up only being affordable to the very wealthy, with others forced to move, or out on the streets, or clinging to rent-controlled units with hostile landlords. If that's what you want, then by all means continue the current policies. And frankly, if increasing density actually helped property values wouldn't you expect a place like NYC to be more affordable? Manhattan holds a lot more people than SF, and there are reasonable cheaper options such as Queens and New Jersey.
