When people say San Francisco has 72,000 units of housing in the pipeline, it's usually in bad faith as most of these projects are stalled, on hazardous sites with possible remnants of nuclear waste and won't be done for decades.https://twitter.com/joegarofoli/status/1217919678762246145 …

Matt HaneyVerified account @MattHaneySFLots of housing being built or proposed in SF. Over 70k units in the pipeline, over 8500 units under construction, nearly 40 major developments proposed this year already. Most housing still built in D6. 960 unit development just approved in Central SOMA https://socketsite.com/archives/2019/07/newly-proposed-development-on-the-rise-in-san-francisco.html …Show this thread4 replies 1 retweet 36 likesShow this thread -

marymcnamara @marymcnamaraReplying to @HammadQuddusi @trixstar36 and 2 othersCareful what you wish for. SF Bay Area has a massive jobs/housing imbalance as does Seattle, driving home prices thru the roof - in spite of the construction frenzy in Seattle. SF has built thousands of units, 60k in pipeline - won't make a dent in costs. Too many jobs, too fast.1 reply 0 retweets 20 likesShow this thread -

It’s where and how you permit. American metros tend to permit single family homes in the exurbs (cheap but not sustainable) or towers downtown (expensive to build) or other mega projects (other problems like soil quality/pollution)

Replying to @kimmaicutler
Yes, and yet, the loudest, most frequent and knee jerk wailing from developers and politicians, when addressing the housing problem, is about how inefficient the permitting process is. This is a distraction. Especially in the face of the number of permitted units.
