"SB 827 only promoted the kind of housing we DON'T need- luxury towers that gentrify, further inflate real estate prices, and undermine our power to negotiate community benefits like affordable housing and funding for transit." -@TenantsUnionSF #SB827 https://www.facebook.com/AdamKimSF/posts/209513919645468 …
Base costs for producing a unit in SF are $700-800K given $200K/unit in land costs and $400/sq ft in construction, excluding contingencies and any addl costs incurred by a long entitlements process — which still leaves 360K financing gap for SF’s median household income of $81K

Very excited to hear your plan to convince city voters to pay $360K/unit in taxpayer subsidy that will produce more than a token number of units with lottery winning odds of less than 1%.

I'm glad you agree that the amount of affordable housing in SF is nowhere close to how much we need. I believe we can do so with progressive taxation, without being an undue burden on the low & middle classes, and without handouts to corporations.
