Who do you mean by "you", when you say "you should"? Do you mean you as in YOU? Or everyone else? Of course people who can't afford housing want cheaper housing. But people who have housing don't want high-rise buildings in their neighborhoods and that's understandable. The solution is not to build more housing. The solution is to create work in other places, too. Why should all companies be in SF? Force companies to move to states with plenty of space.

The solution is for people to stop telling other people what they can do with their land.

Yeah - however, politically, it'd be expedient to come up with some kind of 'replacement' for zoning that still allays the (mostly ridiculous) fears that someone is going to buy the house next door and put in a nuclear waste disposal facility in its place.

Or other parts of California with plenty of space such as the Central Valley. Unfortunately, similar to how homeowners don't want high-rise buildings in their neighborhood, companies do not want to build additional campuses or allow remote work.
