Yeah, no.
1. Doubling down on rent control - yes, maintaining status quo and advocating for more (rent control on all housing regardless of construction date and vacancy control as well). We have decades of research on how disastrous this is, with St Paul providing us with real time data. Pure Left NYMBYism.
edit: you had this absurd notion that rent control being long established it was a good thing - to be clear all data has shown is has not been overall except for the direct incumbent renters who benefited. No HCOL jurisdiction with rent control has maintained affordability over the last few decades. They also usually downzoned. What a coincidence.
2. lol You’re not going to set me straight with anything. Market rate development is about $1k/sq ft in San Francisco and when the city gets involved it goes to $1.3k/sq ft. Same elsewhere - No one disputes this. No one serious, at least. You cannot spend your way out of the housing crisis.
3. “Concerned neighbors” and labor unions. Google CEQA and have yourself a time. Still riding high off this victory:
