@LeeHepner@Bobakkabob37@sfbos@LondonBreed What exactly is this fixing? Fixing the fact that some rich Telegraph Hill neighbors' views would've been affected? Fixing the prospect of new neighbors in a high-resourced area?
@SFyimby@sfplanning @JPrice_25 @HACdotorg There were some other commenters, but I got texted to make my way up to the 4th floor and get in line for comment.
Here with @stephendodson@tstowell88 and Charlie Natoli among a few other pro-housing voices waiting to get our turn to enter the room.
agree with this. a good deal of local government revolves around people who can show up to meetings, which typically means the people with the most direct input are affluent and property-owning
@VirtueofCrowds@ConorKenny “We have too much economic growth and it’s overwhelming our artificially low housing supply so we should address the real problem - slow down those dang well paying tech jobs.”
@rcauvin@WalkableAustin@DonaldShoup Market demanded parking ratios are trending downward slowly but surely. Signaling parking maximums now, ratcheting up slowly could work better.
@rcauvin@WalkableAustin@DonaldShoup 125% was of an already reduced code min. The new max is lower than the current min. And the CBD parking max is the Main Street min!
@rcauvin@WalkableAustin@DonaldShoup I agree w/ regulating *grossly* overparked bldgs, but capping devs at lower than today’s min is too much of a shock to the market to absorb overnight.
@austinmobility many peds dart through/in front of oncoming 6th st traffic to and from Henderson St to Whole Foods. Main reason is to avoid waiting for 2 street crossings bc there’s an inexcusable missing crosswalk at west side of Bowie/6th intersection. What gives?
@Mateo_in_ATX @DanKeshet “Back of curb” elevation is what matters. Private developments can’t change that and aren’t expected to make an ADA compliant sidewalk when dealing with natural terrain that makes it impossible to do so.
@ATXCodeNEVER @CodeNOatx@davidwhitworth Yes because requiring 5,750, 7,000, or 10,000 would do wonderful things for household affordability... are y’all seriously bemoaning reduction to 5,000sf? Want to require .25 acre for all SF?
Do you actually want ppl to take you seriously?
