Why should SI remain SFZ either? Setting it aside from the rest of the city means that the rest of the city would be legislatively destined to further subsidize SI's infrastructure to the benefit of existing landowners.
Designate a park as a park, industrial areas, farmland, reserved undeveloped areas, or preservation sites but otherwise let the market build up.
This is why measures that CA is taking (similar to "increase housing or your zoning is nullified") apply to the entire state; picking and choosing which areas should be zoned as what creates an artificial cap that exacerbates the problems we see today.
