I'd actually totally love to see this proposed in more left-leaning city councils. This is sort of the idea I've had in my head for how to short-circuit the left-NIMBY trap, but I have no idea how good or bad it would actually be at moving the needle in favor of growth. Part of the problem I could see right off the bat would be the fact that owners and occupants are inherently antagonized to one another; as in, the more money you require to be given as a displacement subsidy; the less is available to actually incentivize land development. Of course, in places like SF the market rate for housing is so hilariously high that there might actually be enough money for both parties, at least for a little while.
