Yimby is not just pro-development. It is pro building homes period. Backyard homes. Apartment homes. Public homes.https://twitter.com/yimbyaction/status/929795797780111360 …

not so much public homes. YIMBYs opposed the iclusionary housing ballot measure, Prop C, in 2016.

One can support massive public housing and also legitimately think that inclusionary zoning is an incredibly dumb way to create low-price housing.

sure. one was a non-starter in SF in 2016, and the other a reality. until govt starts actually funding public housing, inclusionary is one of the only ways we have to build more public housing. and you guys said, “no.” it’s no mystery why developers give YIMBY groups money.

Inclusionary is not public. The government does not pay for it.

Government can and does fund the majority of subsidized housing in SF and CA. LIHTC (which the Rep tax plan endangers) are critical. Plus SB2 & 3 we just helped pass. Happy to chat more about AH funding and how we work to generate more!

Let's say we need 100,000 units in the Bay Area in a year. Is there any conceivable way that that happens?

No, and it doesn’t matter anyway. Even a 20% increase in what’s presently planned would have no impact on rents. And at 20%, you run into material and labor constraints. SF has thousands of units approved that aren’t being built.

You say that but a bunch of units just went up in Campbell and I was having trouble renting my room at the current rate because of that.

The entitled-but-not-built problem is a lot about the post-entitlement permitting bullshit and the fact that the entitlement process creates entitled but no longer financially viable projects.

It usually means that the financing fell through.

But another developer could pick up the project and, since it’s already approved, that should theoretically speed things up.
