I'm sure the subtext of OP's argument is something along the lines of "YIMBY is less about not wanting *anyone* in their backyard, and more about not wanting *poor* people in their backyard, so building housing that isn't explicitly 'affordable' is classist". Which isn't true

Well, their argument is that YIMBYs in SF are set on building housing at market rates, which will not actually provide housing for those who need it most (thus denying them their human right).

What the article is proposing is NOT to block more housing. It is to build new housing but it should be public, social, or otherwise assuredly affordable for low-income people.
