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.) The odds of getting into them through the lotteries are also 1/5th of Harvard's admissions rate.https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Can-mayor-and-SF-supervisors-make-nice-to-build-14026610.php …

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/ …

Does SF’s planning department review every single new building filed in the city?

Plus everything requiring discretionary review. Virtually everything requires discretionary review.

I’m confused about what’s supposed to be happening with Parkmerced. I thought they were adding 1000 new units but so far it looks like only university buildings.
