If you're unfamiliar with San Francisco politics, and you assume the "Progressive" supervisors would be on the side of the working and middle class and against millionaire homeowners, then sorry to break it to you, but it's the opposite.

There was a lot of agreement, which is reflected in two very similar proposed initiatives. And some policy disagreement over whether to change definition of affordable & teacher housing. Having been a part of it, protecting “millionaire homeowners” had nothing to do with anything

SF is the only major city in the US to have a discretionary process, where for $600, you can appeal anything. It's why the city's planning dept has to review 5X as many projects as NYC.
