Yeah no. You have:
1. Population growth. I would say this is the largest factor to making housing unaffordable. Unless your claim is that all growth if from local boomers kids (hint: it isn't).
2. Geography. San Francisco is surrounded by quite a bit of water if you haven't noticed. The Bay Area is fenced in with hills. I would argue that geography creates as much of the problem as zoning laws (because if there was easy room to expand people wouldn't be pushing to cancel long term planning and zoning laws and just force through high density housing).
But nice try trying to blame someone on the fact that you want something (to live in a certain area) and think it's fair to trample peoples property rights to get it, make them out to be villians and 'others' worthy of scorn, while ignoring the largest factors (population growth and geography).
