H-1B Visas: U.S. Lawmaker Re-Introduces Bill to Tighten Rules

I think it's adventurous to think the number would much lower. Let's say that the number is 50% lower, that brings us to 25k new individuals just from the H1B program alone.

You're also skipping over the fact that H1B people have families and tend to bring family members into the area.

Overall I'm comfortable to say the number is still probably in the right ballpark until I'm shown evidence of the contrary.

We have to agree to disagree on this, I guess. I find no evidence to support the claim that H-1B workers have any significant effect on the Bay Area housing situation.
