SF supes always want more money for affordable housing but they don’t care whether that money gets put to work efficiently or effectively. A single neighbor can file an appeal for ~$600 that ties up a project for months or years.https://twitter.com/LondonBreed/status/1148301584507346944 …

How much does it cost and how long does it take to build one unit of affordable housing? (About $700K and five years.)

SF has only ever passed 2 affordable housing bonds in its history. One for $100M in 1996 and one for $310M in 2014. It's now going to ballot for $600M this November. You can do the math.https://www.sfexaminer.com/the-city/agreement-reached-over-novembers-600-million-affordable-housing-bond/ …
