This is a really laudable write-up, whether or not you agree with prop F. The problem of "sounds good in principle" propositions that are terribly or deceptively drafted is one that makes every California election a minefield.
That's why a strangely sound election strategy is to just vote no on every proposition. Most of them have heavy corporate sponsorship and are written to deceive the public.

You have it exactly backwards. The density of SF is almost double Brooklyn. 18k/mi^2 vs 10k/mi^2

Re: I Have Read Prop F
#83reading the proposition would help, but that's beside the point ain't it? Someone really needed to let us know how fantastic things are when the gubmint gets out of the way. Got it.
Get over your self satisfied prejudices and actually think for a minute. Other cities don't have the same housing crisis as San Francisco and guess what, those cities also don't have bizarre and impossible restrictions on new constructions.

Brooklyn has a density of 35,369.1 people per square mile. That would make it the 5th most dense city in the US. Behind only other New York areas. It would even put it in the top 10 in density for Europe. What the hell DO you consider a dense city?

Downvoting because you can't refute inconvenient facts? Nice.

It all comes back to Proposition 13, which crippled local governments.
Imagine how many people who've owned their homes for years would be forced to sell and move elsewhere in San Francisco if prop 13 were repealed.
