This is too fkd up and the news article really avoided talking about who is doing this:

You will find no better expert. Your guide is an urban policy professional, card-carrying City Commissioner overseeing a municipal department with an annual budget over $500m, and cofounder of San Francisco's largest neighborhood association.

It's a PR stunt by a political action group to stoke even more of the reactionary policies that made SF into the dystopian libertarian shit-hole it currently is.
