      I don’t think that’s a good faith reading of the article, which suggests QK entering could carve out some of Weiner’s support and leave the door open for a progressive third candidate. I appreciate your position but maybe argue it against real opposition rather than straw men?

      OK, well if SF wanted to build more housing, and maintain local control absent state influence, they could choose to do it all by themselves and zone 4-6 floors on the Westside, and de-concentrate pressure on lower income communities on the East side. But they haven't.

      Sure, but the burden for you, et al, is to convince the dubious that upzoning would result in more affordable housing, rather than encouraging a false equivalence to smear them. If you could do that you might get the votes for the local option proposed. But, it’s hard.

      If you looked at the underlying cost of producing one affordable unit in SF -- $750K/unit with 5+ years of process -- 200-250K/unit that has to be raised at the local level (and up to $350-500K/unit if it's middle income)...

      you'd realize that massively restricting housing (which protects and enhances financial returns on existing housing), while only running one affordable housing bond every five years is a joke.

      getting cross-subsidy from market-rate isn't perfect either, but @UCBDisplacement looked at Scott's plan and found that it would quintuple capacity for on-site inclusionary affordable units while also quadrupling overall market-feasible capacity in the affected geography.

      Tim has literally run giant essays by landlords like Zelda Bronstein, who have evicted low-income tenants, arguing that radical conservation is progressive. That is textbook bad faith.

      Also you need to ask yourself -- what affordable means to you? Affordable for what income level? Because the current institutions, state/federal tax credit programs, are really geared to roughly 60% AMI and below.

      Yes, but comparing what’s been built in upzoned areas of SF to RHNA targets demonstrates that upzoning has led to disproportionate construction at high end. I recall seeing a chart (can find if you disagree) where SF had met market-rate target, but none of the other AMI sections.

      RHNA is an easily manipulated system that has been unenforceable since its inception more than 50 years ago:https://www.latimes.com/projects/la-pol-ca-housing-supply/ …

      Wealthy communities can get out of it because they can use low prior numbers to set low future numbers.

          then it asks cities to build 10X as much low-income housing as there is state/federal funding for. The cities have minimal tools - a bond every 5 yrs, and inclusionary (which is like 400 units/year in SF and becomes infeasible the higher you raise it) https://www.lewis.ucla.edu/2019/05/10/rhna-flawed-law/ …pic.twitter.com/3VntbNreJa

          Right, RHNA numbers are politically determined. It’s not a good way to assess need and measure results. But do the existing upzoned, transit dense parts of SF where new builds are online support the thesis that upzoning improves affordability?
