> First, it's 100% the right of communities to establish - and change - zoning laws. That’s not the argument I’m making. I’m saying that communities have no right to arbitrarily block uses that comply with existing code. This is a rule of law issue. SF has admitted to violating state law which supersedes local law. Again, my point is that YIMBYs are not making the claim that density per se drives down costs. But yes arbitrarily restricting housing supply does create affordability issues. The NIMBYs of SF in the end if they win will find that they have created a museum of SF.
