Can’t help but hope that all the bitching about SF housing policy is increasing the pot of glory to be had by the great man or woman who eventually steps up and fixes it. “It’s hopeless, totally fucked” == “You’ll be a hero if you can solve our problem”

Ok but seriously this is a subset of the problem of "entrenched rent-seeking bureaucrats, law systems, and elected officials" and whoever solves this will probably kickstart a golden age of which SF housing will be a tiny facet.

Anyway economists have shown for decades that rent control seriously pushes up all the other rents and therefore leads to a massive net increase in housing costs but no one hails them as heroes, instead they just keep electing politicians who don't believe in economics.
