Remember that a lot of the issue isn't zoning, it's parking minimums. Forcing every studio apartment to have at least two parking spots is an effective (albeit horrific) way to force low density.

Your example is theoretical, this particular constraint does not appear in San Francisco. New buildings (even huge ones) are being built with little to no parking.

Fair point. I actually was thinking more of the bay as a whole (its own basket case with regards to getting housing built) than SF, which was an error considering that the article is focused on SF.
