I can only hope you're right. The history of the supes though is that they pander to the people who want to "conserve the rich history and diversity of the city". It sounds nice, but what it results in is paralysis and band-aids (for example in the provisions to grant building permits is to build "affordable" housing.) So the builders build million dollar condos (who only few can afford) and the below-market condos -who only the near destitute qualify for). That leaves most people competing for the few actually (non subsidized) affordable places, which due to pressures are the leftovers (substandard inventory -old, needing repairs, lousy areas, etc).

I have little respect and some disdain for the supes . They have driven the city's progress into the ground. Anywhere else, these policies would have driven the place into a Detroit West, but they get propped up the the surrounding valleys' wealth.

I could only wish the city was governed a bit like SJ --without the sprawl.
