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?

We live in a world where SF added 13 jobs for every housing unit between 2010 and 2016 and just approved a plan last winter to add another 32,000 jobs/8,800 housing units to Central SOMA.https://twitter.com/IDoTheThinking/status/1157437062963843072 …

𝔇𝔞𝔯𝔯𝔢𝔩𝔩 🍫 𝔒𝔴𝔢𝔫𝔰 @IDoTheThinking#betterbayarea here is a graph of the jobs housing imbalance. What action is being taken in SF and the Peninsula to reduce the regional housing pressures they created to job expansion? How should we go about repealing Prop 13 so that corporations like Chevron in Richmond pay? pic.twitter.com/Cg9ylFJlrlShow this thread2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -
right. There is a vast jobs-housing imbalance. Everyone agrees about that. Tim Redmond agrees with it. You have different ideas about what an equitable and effective solution would be. And Quentin Kopp isn’t a Republican.

that jobs-housing imbalance is inextricably financially tied to a lot of NIMBY behavior throughout California. Cities don't make enough property tax revenue from residential and they can no longer use retail/shopping centers to offset it. So they now do office,

which is far easier to get through the political/legislative process than housing. The two are tied together.

So Tim can complain about all the growth he wants, but it enables his property tax basis to remain the same without substantial cannibalization of public service provision given the city's unfunded liabilities, which continually outpace revenue collection.
