In San Francisco for work and I can't get over how the Caltrain station has 2 and 3 story buildings across the street from it. Tokyo real estate developers wouldn't let their phone stop ringing until they sold, because Tokyo real estate developers could complete construction.

Would a good solution here be to re-zone this area mandating a minimum of X# floors? Is that a thing, mandating a minimum building height / capacity to optimize land use?

I mean if you give people certainty that you would actually be able to build 10+ floors then the economics mean people willing to build 10+ floors would outbid anyone wanting to build 2, by a staggering margin.

How about 30-40? There’s a 6-story complex going up in Seattle next door to the light rail. And I think every time: “This would literally be impossible in the Mission”

Having just come back from Tokyo, the lack of density here makes me so sad.
