When rents go up, an even tinier, more exclusive slice of people can afford to stay or arrive in SF.

More from an affordable housing developer here. These projects typically have a complex Jenga tower of 6-7 financing sources at the local, state and federal level. A delay here or there threatens the whole stack:https://twitter.com/sammymoss425/status/1140389776182222848?s=21 …

@HillaryRonen is so opposed to limiting frivolous homeowner appeals that I am told she has refused to even schedule a committee hearing.” (She campaigned on bringing 5,000 affordable units to the Mission within a decade.) If you live there, that’s your supe. Let her know.Show this thread -

It costs $700-800K and takes 5 years to build *one* unit of affordable housing. $200-300K of it usually has to come from the city with the rest from state/federal.
