What these people really want is for all of the "other people" to go away. That's the only way you could ever see housing prices in SF go down given the current market circumstances. You have a city that's surrounded by water, a convoluted regulatory environment that actively depresses development activity, and a total unwillingness to build vertically. In the long-term, either the people leave, the water somehow disappears, or you rewrite city codes and start building vertically. Of the three, only the lattermost is even feasible.
