  1. I'm spending a lot of time looking at #SanFrancisco's proposed #FamilyZoningPlan. Perhaps that's why reading about Pope Leo XIV's just released Dilexi Te (apnews.com/article/vatican-poo) brought it to mind.

    We have a massive affordable housing problem, with housing unaffordable to most people (based on rent burdens) - and he wrote "“Thus, in a world where the poor are increasingly numerous, we paradoxically see the growth of a wealthy elite, living in a bubble of comfort and luxury, almost in another world compared to ordinary people.”

    And I see a zoning plan that allows (incentivizes?) 90' buildings with 4000 sq ft residential units, all less than 9 units so no inclusionary requirement - and hear planning staff talk about how it will help affordability through the inclusionary requirements. Disingenuous is an understatement, but the Planning does answer to #MayorLurie.

    Whose brother, a real estate agent for the wealthy, bemoaned a lack of mansions for his clients, living in that bubble.

  2. For those considering #SanFrancisco's Upzoning Plan (aka #FamilyZoningPlan) , predicated on letting for profit developers build higher and denser, we have some data:

    "London boroughs with the greatest number of these rental property developments, rents have increased by 48% to 52% since 2015, exceeding the city-wide average. "
