San Francisco is trying something big—with a caveat: it may not stick. The city’s mayor has unveiled a “family zoning” proposal that would allow more homes—up to 36,000—in traditionally low-density neighborhoods such as Richmond and the Sunset. It’s bold, necessary even, given the state’s mandate to add 82,000 homes by 2031. But there’s a catch: neighborhood groups, preservationists, and small businesses see it as a threat to their communities’ character and stability.
