Yep, politics change.

Brilliant choice. Now, everybody will drop all expectations that anything will ever get done. Just shrug and stoically wear your feces raincoat and feces wading Wellies.

After a spell of delusional liberal rants in front of microphones, she will calm down with good helpings of bribery and corruption sedatives and a marked increase in the quality of her personal lifestyle and financial means.

It's the Pelosi-Feinstein Ascendancy!

I would support her when it comes to building more homes. If anyone thinks San Francisco homes will now be affordable to most people in the next 5 years are in for a shock. One hell of a shock. Why? Because even more people with money will buy up the new stock. Did Manhattan, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Tokyo, London, Toronto and Paris become affordable to the masses when they they started building skyscrapers? No. Then why do you think San Francisco will be any different?

Yes, but this is just a function of how much is built. They are not going to build enough because there are too many obstacles.
Let's say we:
- change the building code to allow 6 stories building all over the Bay Area with minimum permits.
- open all free space (hills) north of 92 for development.
- Fill-in the bay between Hunter Point and Brisbane to develop a new town the size of Foster City.
- Fill-in the bay south of Dumbarton
- Build Bart to SJ. Add 2 lanes to 101 & 280. Add a bridge 280 to Alameda. Make 19th Avenue an express way between 280 and Golden Gate. Build a tunnel between 280 and Half Moon Bay. Build a tunnel 280 to La Honda. Open La Honda and San Gregorio to development.

I bet you could add 500,000 units and the rich would panic and sell.
