Paul Wermer, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0If #MayorLurie could only explain how this plan would provide housing affordable to the full mix of household incomes, without trotting out the hypothetical (and misleading) explanations of #filtering and related misleading #SupplyAndDemand, that would be nice. The history of housing construction in dense urban environments puts the lie to those justifications. And we already build more housing than forecast demand for the top 10% of incomes in SF (which are high, shall we say).
I remember SF Planning touting the #VancouverModel 15 years ago. How did that turn out for Vanouver? Well, not much affordable housing: https://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/vancouver-housing-impossibly-unaffordable-report
So why is the Mayor doubling down on policies that fail in dense urban areas?
