@maxdubler printing more money is a great way to increase supply and devalue currency…so…if you want to have more cheaper, housing, bad choice of analogy, friend
@kane I’m building an ADU under the State Program; as part of that I’m allowed to ignore SF design guidelines. This issue is RIPE for a new state law that allows for new energy efficient windows to preempt local design guidelines/vibes @Scott_Wiener
@maxdubler not only not built new housing but we’re actually LOSING housing there; in Corona Heights which is next to the Castro the net housing supply has actually decreased over the last seven years - in terms of both overall housing units (-28) and more acutely rental units (-222)
I respectfully urge the Department of Housing and Community Development to require the City of San
Francisco to remove these Amendments to the Constraints Reduction Ordinance @maxdubler@_fruchtose@SFyimby
@California_HCD why would the @sfbos risk decertification of their Housing Element for a few seemingly benign amendments to the Constraints Reduction Ordinance? Because they’re not - 🧵
but you don't have to take my word for it, the City's own Planning Department raised serious concerns in its Racial and Social Equity analysis of the Amendments which @sfbos ignored
@_fruchtose The Corona Heights “Large Residence” Special Use Ordinance was used to (for now) stop the mixed affordable housing project I had proposed two years ago @430017th which effectively outlaws multi unit housing in Corona Heights…
@maxdubler I’m building an ADU in S.F. under the STATE ADU program which allows me to get around the ridiculous S.F. window rules and install modern energy efficient ones / only way to build housing in S.F. is when the State preempts local anti-housing constraints
@Mallrat9000@sfstandard yeah, good question. These bids were exclusive of permit fees, architect fees, other city fees, structural engineer fee, structural inspection fees, parking permit for dumpster, etc. so probably closer to $1,100 sqft
My latest column: Scott Pluta’s proposal to build a few apartments in his Castro side-yard was rejected by San Francisco officials. Now he’s proposing a much taller building — and if the “builder’s remedy” goes into effect, the city might have to say yes. https://t.co/e3f20PxHv9
For the future of our City and our State, we need real changes to how we approve and build housing. We can't keep putting forward restrictive policies, and certainly not any that block state streamlining solutions. That's why I'm vetoing San Francisco's "fourplex" ordinance.
