I am a resident of SF and disagree with the current policy. The only way to fix it is for residents who care about development to convince others. Democracy only works if there is discourse, otherwise nothing would change

Also, in SF we have more than enough water. Maybe you are thinking of Southern California more than 300 miles away?

They announced β€œTo help extend our water supplies, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission declared a Water Shortage Emergency in November 2021. The action calls for a 11% reduction in water use across our regional system.”
