The impact of ULA (LA’s "mansion tax") on development is much greater than most people realize. It hits projects twice —but probably not in the way you think. Let me explain: Let’s say a developer is building a building for $10 million to a 7 Yield on Cost (YOC) If the market…
The market rents for 1-bedrooms in the MacArthur Commons building at BART are 9% lower than the 80% Area Median Income threshold for 2-person household. Meaning the rents are now at subsidized, (middle-) lower income housing levels. The building opened in 2019.

Oakland is having the 11th best downtown recovery in America, while San Francisco is next to last. Why the huge difference between the two neighboring cities?

Further impressions after reading the Grants Pass transcript: The city may "win" by a big vote margin, as @DBRodriguez5 predicts, but all the same arguments--and difficulties!--are coming right back as due process rather than 8th Amendment claims. 🧵/23

I wish @berkeleyside would refer to "affordable housing" as subsidized housing or low income housing. Its no mystery why it hasnt seen the same slowdown as market housing, its *publicly subsidized housing.* Not magic beans mystery nice sounding housing. berkeleyside.org/2024/04/19/hou…

This is how it's done. Why do new buildings in SF look like hot garbage? Oh right, @sfplanning's absurd "design guidelines" that actually mandate some of the worst new architecture on the literal planet.
Great new apartment building in Boston!
@otterbo54348271 @sfplanning A start would be nixing the “cultural districts.” Calle 24/Jon Jacobo, the Pilipino Cultural District/Todco, the Chinese Cultural District/Peskin, etc. The City gives these clowns our money, and discretionary power over anything that gets built. It’s madness. It needs to stop.

@slavojtrex The best time to build affordable housing was 10 years ago. The second best time is to build it right now.
I’m old enough to remember when this “gentrification building” was “only for the rich”. 10 years later and the rent is completely in line with what a 2 bed 2 bath in the Elmwood Village rents for. If you want affordable housing, build it 10 years ago, or build MR now and wait.
Half of all *market-rate* rental housing built since 2010 in Sacramento is affordable at 80% AMI and fully 9 out of 10 units are affordable at 120% AMI. We should be honest that "workforce" affordable housing programs are almost certainly a distraction
@StrawmanHere @DanRiffle If you are argumentative and have a troll account name, don’t be surprised by the end result.
@StrawmanHere x.com/mattyglesias/s…
I’m all for new tent encampments, but before you build them you should need to engage with the stakeholders in a series of community meetings, have some design review, and ensure that the tents align with the existing character of the community.
@StrawmanHere You have elections, you hire competent people, you make decisions based on data. If residents don’t like those decisions, you have elections, and they vote for different representatives.
@pqliving @DanRiffle @FeverPotomac Perfect example - most of the public works Saturday at noon, and you so easily brush off the idea that they have the right to be heard.
@FeverPotomac @pqliving I promise you, everyone you mentioned, knows the email address, by heart, of their council member and multiple members of their staff. People who have to work at that time could’ve attended? People who have young kids with Little League practice at that time could’ve attended?
@FeverPotomac All of them? How do you know? My office in Chinatown. I’m here now; yesterday and tomorrow too. Do most of my grocery shopping/errands here. I spend more time/money at bars/restaurants here than my home neighborhood. Wanted to go yesterday, but had to work then pick up my kids.
Look at this crowd. A perfect example of how subjecting the planning anything—transportation, housing, amenities, policing strategy—via “community meetings” just means giving veto power to a narrow, unrepresentative demographic of retirees with time for these meetings.
Pretty big turnout for discussion of the future for Chinatown & Gallery Place. @wusa9 here to hear resident feedback for the Mayor’s Task Force. News at 11!
SF is the most childless major city in the nation due in large part to Aaron’s unwillingness to support more housing. We have a housing shortage crisis, which leads to displacement & exorbitant housing costs. Two decades of Aaron’s NIMBYism at work. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/few…
I am proud to have protected Baby Prop C funding from being diverted in last year's budget. Quality childcare is a lifeline for working families + our early childhood care workers are true heroes who deserve wages that allow them to thrive for the incredible service they provide.
@AaronPeskin I bet I f we just keep electing the same people they will fix the issues we have.
@maxdubler It’s so well done. I looked up the architects this morning.
@maxdubler This looks so much better than the bizarre Lego-looking "break up the massing" buildings that NIMBYs force on us through their bizarre building codes.
@civilagain @maxdubler Encouraging density in cities will reduce pressure for density in rural and suburban areas
