Sure, its slowly densifying but its going from 2-3 story buildings to like 15 story buildings. It should be allowing for much higher density and a taller height limit. The Southern Boundary of SOMA should be upzoned to match the density of the ''Hub'' area around the corner of Van Ness, Market and Mission all the way to the elevated portion of I80. If done right they could easily fit 20,000 units without destroying anything but old warehouses of little or no historical value and surface parking lots.
For being such a liberal city, it shocks me how dang conservative it is in regards to building housing.

I don't disagree with this at all. I was using the Sunset as just one example, but there are surely others as well.
