The law should have several cut offs for different income levels. If you aren't making above $500,000 in Manhattan or San Francisco and you have a job in those areas, they should allow you to afford what you need. Of course, SFHs, townhomes, and penthouses are out of the question, but the vast majority of of multiunit and apartment buildings should be affordable. If you have to live near a poorer person, that's too bad. If that person has a job in the city, he or she contributes to that city and should be given a bare minimum to live there.
Rent should only take up to 40% of take home income or less. Fuck those other taxes that don't benefit people in any way, shape, or form.
