How about mixed-cost buildings? Some higher-cost "luxury" units whose price/rent subsidizes the lower cost "essential" units, where firemen, teachers, local people can live.

A third of all units developers build in SF goes to low income housing

An alternative would be that the essential workers are just paid more; if they're truly essential, it's hard to see how this wouldn't happen naturally

Why should we subsidize homes for firefighters?

I don't know about firefighters but some public services are dependent on workers who commute from outside of San Francisco.

More broadly, if housing is so expensive people with full time jobs can't easily afford it, build more housing. Subsidizing it for certain groups is NIMBY-enabling tokenism.
