I'm intrigued to hear that millions of sq ft of office space is a bad thing.

millions of sq ft of office space without matching housing supply is a bad thing. That is what Bay Area municipalities have been doing for decades.

I think I've been fairly clear and repetitive for several years at this point that I want a new consensus, which is unapologetically about approving a lot more of all kinds of housing and is also not about criminalizing people without housing. No single party offers this.

so if I get one part of what I want, I am happy to hold whoever is in power accountable for the other part.

Progressives are actually not all that great about homelessness either. They spent the last two election cycles campaigning against or deliberately not endorsing measures that would've raised more $50-70M more in funding per year for homelessness.

You clearly do not understand how inclusionary housing works. They will make the same margin or just not do the project. If they need to stick in more office to make the margin (aka add more jobs-housing imbalance) or wait until neighborhoods rents are even higher than they would

Hmmm it kind of sounds like for-profit developers will never really meet the city's housing needs, no matter what rules we put in place.

You can also just not do anything and wait for your perfect social housing utopia and existing housing will become even more of a scarce luxury asset/commodity and do what it has always done for 40 years, which is double in value every cyclepic.twitter.com/YW0NoMR58w

No one is saying let's not do anything??? This is perhaps my favorite strawperson on twitter dot com

Promoting plans that for all intensive purposes only produce token BMR and then slow the entire mega-regional pipeline further behind existing population growth is basically equivalent to protecting the existing stock as an even further luxury/scarce asset class

Oh I see which is what the unnamed "candidate" was doing? I strongly suspect no mayoral candidates are reading this thread.

I liked a lot of Jane’s policies but touting inclusionary at 40% is not entirely honest. If you look at 5M, Mission Rock, it relied on 2M sq ft of office space for 841 BMR units. That’s 13,000 likely tech workers for 800-ish units. https://oewd.org/5m https://sfport.com/missionrock
