This doesn't matter. Look, SF voters are not going to vote for this. It's not going to happen. The people you're courting—by definition—don't live there. The existing economic base is fine. Well-paid tech employees aren't civically engaged and their salaries are enough to cover their housing. Until they aren't, like when starting a family, at which point many move out of the city and no longer have a vote. The major, high-turnout voters are _home owners_. They do not want cheaper permitting because it will drive down their property values. That's the whole point! It's the same as the homelessness epidemic in SF. Everyone theoretically supports it but in a strong council system, no supervisor (their equivalent of a city council member) will support it for their district. "I support homeless shelters and de-regulation, just not in my district" is the prevailing take, which means neither will ever pass.
