All to boost boomers’ property values. Absolutely despicable.

i agree, but i will note i have heard there are as of recently 5 empty homes per homeless person in sf; if true this is not the only problem!

Filling vacant homes is unlikely to make a meaningful dent in our housing crisis, unfortunately https://www.spur.org/sites/default/files/publications_pdfs/SPUR_Non-Primary_Residences.pdf … IMO, it’s a popular idea that distracts from the conversation about zoning and lets electeds off the hook.

The most effective way to fill vacant homes with the least unintended consequences is to cause rents to fall by building more homes by liberalizing zoning and by-right permitting. It worked in Seattle and it will work here.

seriously i don't think that can be true, unless waht you mean is the most politically expedient in which sure that's a position you can argue, i'm pro upzoning and pro use of vacant housing during an emergency of this magnitude.

People have done the math on this. There exists no politically, technologically, logistically feasible way to unlock enough empty units to make a dent in the housing supply.

This is the problem: https://twitter.com/samdman95/status/1288964843886665728 … Empty units is a distraction.

sam deutsch @samdman95Two San Francisco planning commissioners just voted to block a 6-story building with two very-low income homes because it casts 13 minutes of shadow on a tiny sliver of a park. The fact that commissioners even waste their times reviewing *shadows* is just nuts. pic.twitter.com/VDirJNUvm8Show this thread2 replies 0 retweets 4 likes
It's part of the same system of creating fake scarcity. Building new structures will not be in time for the eviction crisis. I would not be surprised if this becomes a serious issue. Homeless encampments during a pandemic reasonable thing for the city to do is prevent evictions

Completely agree SF should do what it can to prevent evictions. And I agree with y'all's larger point that things are at an emergency level and going to get worse and I've been thinking more long-term.
