I still think
@SFCityAttorney should bring CEQA lawsuits over suburban tech campus expansions in towns that don’t build housing and would get a bunch of $$ for transit and affordable housing from these companies. It would work.2 replies 0 retweets 9 likes -

If that's the case, Oakland should sue SF!

Well
@MattHaneySF is trying to update the jobs-housing linkage fee to solve this problem. So maybe support that? As it is, I believe SF and Oakland do most of the housing construction in the Bay, so I’m not sure why you’d focus on SF instead of the entire two counties south.3 replies 0 retweets 4 likes -

Well heres the data from MTC and i the housing production as only gotten slower in SF after 2016, and then add onto this the SOMA plan that uses Oakland as a bedroom community. SF produces more than peers but it induces far more than Lafayette doeshttps://twitter.com/IDoTheThinking/status/1126961571819692032?s=19 …

1.SF has been off the charts in adding jobs. vs. housing. 2.santa clara has been best on the ratio 3.SF's job growth this decade has been incredible and the demand shock has been catastrophic. 4.SF added over 20K homes in the aughts despite losing ~40K jobs.pic.twitter.com/hS2gjibnTo

yep, and that was what enabled SF to double its budget from $6 to 12 billion from 2011.... it now has a larger budget than a dozen or so US states, most of which have larger populations than the city.

Doubled the budget while the % of the budget spent on labor went down. City jobs are still in an austerity/recession mode.

at least we're not spending 20% of our general fund on it like Oakland and San Jose do, but that's partially because SF has such a strong core of business HQs.
