Not to get all mansplainy about the ballot initiative, but it's not a matter of getting out of our own way. Rather, it's voters saying no to developers building more offices without additional affordable/workforce housing being built.

This oldy- but- goody article outlines the huge imbalance between jobs and housing in SF that drove housing prices (SFH, condos and apartments) into the stratosphere. That said, we still have a suspended 250 + meter tower in the works (Foundation is complete, above ground on hold) and a Hines approved project that will hit 250 meters with the mechanical penthouse finish,) But after those two, there is simply no area currently zoned for anything at those heights.
