These are PRECISELY the projects that should be rejected if you are truly interested in housing affordable to low-income residents (which you are NOT). It was just another luxury highrise with a couple of "affordable" units renting at well over $2000. solely for 'approval'.
You cannot claim to be pro-housing and then reject projects like this one. Low- and middle-income folks continue to be pushed out of our city. Average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is ~$3,600. We. Need. More. Housing.https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/SF-supervisors-reject-housing-project-that-would-13755026.php …

Now instead of 19 BMR units there will be 0. 19 > 0.

All because the building will cast a shadow over a portion of the park at the end of the day? This is a missed opportunity.

no, because the building casts a shadow on the ONLY full size public park in our neighborhood. SOMA has drastically less open space than other neighborhoods- we have to protect the little we have

And this was 30% affordable, higher than the city requires, and funded a bathroom attendant for the park. Why would any developer attempt to provide benefits like that for the community after seeing what happened here? Thanks Mayor Breed for talking sense.

percentages are misleading- this was only 1 unit of affordable housing more than what is required by law.

Very disappointing to see my supervisor,
@AaronPeskin, vote against this. Apparently he does not care about San Francisco's historically severe housing shortage. -
Disappointed but not surprised. I suggest you organize with your neighbors and deliver him a disappointment at the ballot box. This self professed “environmental advocate” has made a lifetime career as a supervisor opposing pro environmental development and transit improvements

other than tweeting, what are you doing to fix this?

These appeals go to the BOS under city charter, so a mayor can’t do much here. But she’s doing a lot for housing: cleared the ADU backlog, affordable housing bond, put a proposal to streamline 100% affordable on Nov ballot, and endorsed SB50 the More Homes Act.
