The Mayor either introduced legislation she knew would fail to serve some other political objective or she is not good at managing a legislative process with people who disagree with her.

Also has any data been presented about the actual number of affordable housing projects that have been stalled specifically by discretionary review? Seems like it's easy to figure out if that's really been the obstacle.

Great question. I'm assuming this would be hard to figure out — tho I'm running the risk of speaking out of school. Track down all aff.hsing. projects and then see when DR was used; when slowdowns occurred, check for presence of other potential factors, of which there are many.

Ultimately you'd need to just talk to a ton of people to get the lay of the land, as well as understand the particular stumbling blocks each project faced.

Idk people are on here suggesting discretionary review is a poison pill for affordable housing. Seems like that’d be easy to verify.

Quite rare, a few cases. All rejected. And since SB35 went into effect Jan 2018, state law makes projects fully ministerial, so no DR appeal. It is the rezoning of sites, triggering EIR, that is the real delay and vulnerability to potential appeal. ie, Booker; Forest Hill; FSK.

See? This is what happens when I publicly wade into territory that's opaque to me:

SB 35 only works if you're 100% compliant with the local zoning. Almost all affordable projects need some kind of variance which means they don't qualify.

Hence, since the West side is not yet upzoned even though folks running the non-CA claim it will (LOL when), everything will have variances and won’t qualify for SB35.
