I just mean to relate it back to IZ and other debates about housing affordability in that I think there is a substantive ideological divide that led to that decision, which is relevant.

ya. i always encourage left-YIMBYs to realize that if their goal is to create livable and equitable cities, developers and financial wealth are absolutely *not* ideological allies even if they can be temporary allies of convenience and prop C is a great example of that.

and my opinions of weiner and breed were dramatically lowered by them showing which side of that ideological divide they were comfortable being on

Anyone who knows San Francisco politics would’ve realized Weiner, Breed, & Chiu would oppose measures like Prop C before YIMBYs strongly supported them.

Who says YIMBYs aren’t deliberatelytrying to coalesce a different agenda that is pro-housing creation and pro-homelessness funding at the same time that doesn’t fit into pre-existing historical boxes?

I think if you read the long history of mayoral budget cycles over 30-40 years through multiple recessions and see how previous mayors like Agnos, etc. were boxed in by dramatic shortfalls in revenue, I’m disappointed but not upset.

This is a conversation we should revisit at the very bottom of the economic cycle to see how it holds up.

Funds from land value capture programs like IZ can be used counter-cyclically. If set high enough and long enough, they can reset land values to lower levels, delaying demolition of affordable market housing, driving redevelopment to lower intensity uses like parking lots.
