I don't disagree, however, Preston is merely representing the will of his constituents. If I was a NIMBY I would think he was doing a very fine job, and I don't blame him for doing what he was hired to do. Here's the most frustrating part though: SF has a massive pool of voters that could easily overpower NIMBYs and basically rezone much of it to build as much housing as necessary. IIRC SF is ~2/3 renters, many of which are paying an insane amount in rent — but crucially, many aren't because of rent control. It seems those that are doing just fine in their rent controlled apartments remain apathetic to the whole situation and aren't lobbying their representatives like the NIMBYs are, and everyone else is paying the price. It's basically "FU, got mine" very much the same way NIMBYs are. Until this apathy is resolved, nothing else will, unless the state starts to overwrite local control.
