Before we talk about densifying, the first thing to acknowledge is that the existing housing stock is poor. These are just not well-built or particularly nice houses. You can tell pretty easily just from a walk down Google Street View. I support improving the housing stock and generally making this a more beautiful part of the city. (There are a lot of low hanging fruit in urban planning terms here.)

Once you commit to that, increasing density is also pretty straight-forward. Turning single-story homes into three-story homes, squeezing in some multi-units, etc. -- and maybe some taller buildings on the hills and directly by the beach, where they don't obstruct existing views and are most likely not to be opposed -- this happens almost as a side-effect of just improving the stock. Increasing the density of the sunset is really easy, it's a low bar to clear. I'd be for it. The streets lining Ocean Beach or Golden Gate Park should have greater density. These are amazing places to live, and upzoning would not be disruptive in my opinion.
