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.
