I have friends more invested in housing issues than I am. But they generally agree with my assessment that without fixing transportation issues there is only downsides for homeowners and even renters to new development. It definitely seems like developers don't want to to pay a cent for mass transit. The just want to build lux houses and lofts in some neighborhood and then run away with the money.
I think Scott Wiener is right. Build mass transit and allow developers build housing close in.

Trying to argue this or that specific issue, get them to come around each time, seems unlikely to provide real progress.
