If you go to cities around the world that are thriving and that are more affordable, they're building housing.
They're building up. They're building dense. They're embracing growth, change, and diversity. San Francisco can do that too. But not like this. This definitely ain't it.
San Francisco has a housing shortage and a housing crisis. The idea that building less and placing more limits on housing growth, even in our downtown neighborhoods, is going to make us more affordable is deeply misguided. It's contradicted by the experience of cities all over and it's exacerbating San Francisco's affordability crisis.
San Francisco is not building housing and every vote they take seems to move us backward. The state will step in, again, as votes like this from city officials will leave us no choice.
