Hillary Ronen, Campos's former chief of staff, could turn out to be pro housing. She included building 5,000 units of "affordable" (BMR) housing in her platform: http://hillaryronen.com/hillarys-plan/

There's nowhere near enough public funds to subsidize that much BMR housing, so in theory she would have to support mixed developments. In practice it might just be lip service.

Affordable housing is great but gets more expensive as market rate rent increases, and won't meet the demand for housing. I'm much more concerned about the market rate housing stock.
