I must be naive in wishing our elected officials and “affordable housing advocates” would want to remove the horrible law in our charter & the reason we had to write SB35 to bypass in the first place.

Also the Irony is not lost on anyone who experienced the amount of absolute HATE lobbed on those of us who got SB35 passed. Those using it the most as the reason we don’t need the charter amendment were the most awful to be frank.

I think this exchange helpfully demonstrates why casting DR as THE make or break issue may be hyperbole, in a way that comports with
@EskSF ‘s original point that the rhetoric obscures the nuance underlying the policy. Calling people “anti-housing” is not illuminating.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

that's ridiculous. If you're like everything's the problem and therefore nothing's the problem, you're not fixing anything.

In no way does anyone who’s pushing the charter amendment believe it’s “make or break” at all. It’s a self imposed hurdle that came about because the federal government made it illegal to simply say “we don’t want the poors in our neighborhood” why can’t we just get rid of it?

I get it. I don’t care about DR. I’m just suggesting that if we are going to propose policy, we should have evidence that is not anecdotal about why it’s necessary, or at least not tell people to STFU if they are skeptical about the lack of data.

I said people who cry for only Local Control but say we don’t need to get rid of DR because of the state mandated SB35 are the ones who should STFU. And again, it’s soul crushing work sometimes ensure our projects don’t get DRd in the first place. What data can I provide on that?

Look all I’m saying is Discretionary Review is the grandchild of Redlining and I want to live in a world where we don’t have things like that anymore. I say tear the god damn mural down and burn it.

does anyone know how it even got into the charter in the first place?

DR in the charter goes back to 1954 and reaffirmed by city attorney in 1979. Some interesting background reading. There have been a few tries at DR reform. But the weaponized rhetoric around it, rather than a measured and focused policy convo, has blown it up every time.
