Is it possible they don't really want that higher density development and create it that way on purpose to give the illusion?

You just nailed it. That it is the virtue signaling politics of San Francisco. The policymakers in California are only interested in exploiting politics to posture for purposes of self-esteem, branding, status and tribalism.

It reminds me of Marc Andreesen who penned the article "IT’S TIME TO BUILD" while living in the most anti-building neighborhood in the whole Bay area, full of billionaire's called Atherton.
