I think that every SF resident is entitled to their opinion on the topic. Do we know how many residents are for housing growth and how many are against it?

- rayiner 14y agoSF residents are entitled to their opinion on the topic, but their opinions must also be balanced against the rights of the landowners to develop their private property as they see fit. The point of zoning regulation is to allow a measure of urban planning to safeguard the health and safety of the city, not to allow existing landowners to freeze the city in its current state by restricting development on land they don't own.
