this is a little bit of a tangent, obviously, but I worry we often lose sight of how even though big projects get attention, it's the small <10 unit infill projects that make up the vast majority of our market rate rental stock now, and that should also be true moving forward

Does the pipeline and COO'd units over the last 5 to 10 years show this is most of our new stock?

I said current stock. And it would be / should be if zoning, particularly on the west side, weren't so shitty and restrictive.

I don't understand how current stock is relevant to future development policy in the way you seem to be arguing then, but nvm

My point is that most renters already live in small multifamily. I believe the best way to transition forward is to allow more to live in small multifamily by 1) legalizing it, and 2) making it more feasible to build. Yet most discussions around development focus on big projects.

...and the rules that only apply to big projects

Idk what you mean by legalizing it, but also this is kind of odd logic: mist renters should live in this housing because most renters do live in this housing

Small multifamily development is illegal to build today in ~75% of San Francisco. The older multifamily buildings you see in many neighborhoods today would be illegal to rebuild under today's zoning laws.

let’s bring this back. I’m still contesting the point that UESF is not acting in their own best interest as determined by... Twitter urbanists and a sympathetic blogger who can tell them “ignore these people”

sure, and I’m sure they and a ton of UESF teachers who don’t have rent control or inherited homeownership have lots of opinions on affordability and them preferring a proposal you don’t is not because they are naive or powerless
