People live in the Peninsula partly for the house with a yard. People live in SF for the city life etc...
Its been self selecting for a long time. You will get a lot of opposition to high rise apartments in those areas especially since the existing residents don't 'need' or even want these developments.
You don't even have BART in middle to lower parts of the Peninsula. Where you do see Bart, you see a little bit of the developments that you speak of (Millbrae, South San Francisco, etc...)
There is increased demand. It translates into higher prices for the Peninsula and increasing development and somewhat higher prices in the outskirts (East Bay, South Bay, etc...). Also, see a bit more in fill in the Peninsula. Previously, subpar empty lots are being bought and built on.
