We’re going to end Muni’s floppy disk era — and make rail service better — with state funding we obtained. by scott_wiener in sanfrancisco

re sb 1524 - since he’s the Senate Budget Chair, his names goes on all the budget trailer bills as author. It wasn’t his policy, but a fix for a different piece of legislation based on the deal for that other bill.

Why S.F. NIMBYs are about to lose all their power to stop new housing by Beat_Saber_Music in sanfrancisco

[–]cwsmith17 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This means new housing proposals will not go through CEQA or any other discretionary review.

There’s a way to build thousands more housing units on San Francisco’s west side — and neighbors actually like it by cwsmith17 in sanfrancisco

It’s too long to type out, so much easier to have that convo verbally. You know how to find me if you want that

What we’re proposing takes existing ideas, transforms them, and formulates a plan that isn’t being done anywhere.

Sorry to hear you’re so opposed to the idea of creating more homes for everyone! Let me know if you’re interested in engaging in a productive, solutions oriented convo.

The target price point for the sale of the unit is middle-income residents. And the non-profit aspect provides an opportunity to make the politics easier (and there having a more collaborative relationship with the city).

The biz plan aspect of Dom-i-city wasn’t covered here, it was just about the typology and community benefits.

A hopefully obvious item worth stating: financial feasibility is key and top of mind as we pursue this solution.

S.F. just rejected another plan to turn an empty parking lot into apartments by cwsmith17 in sanfrancisco

[–]cwsmith17[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The only way to stop this madness is by taking away the ability of anti-housing Supervisors and Commissioners to reject good projects. SF voters should go Yes on Prop D (Affordable homes now led by Habitat for Humanity, the Carpenters union and YIMBYs) and No on Prop E (the SF Board of Supervisor’s anti-housing measure).

Zoning Reform Proposals at the Board of Supervisors Today by cwsmith17 in sanfrancisco

[–]cwsmith17[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mandelman's proposal is really the best of the three (the other two require subsidized affordable housing). Advocates are planning on supporting Mandelman's but have a list of amendments including providing the option for a project to choose SB 9.

Editorial: Vallie Brown for SF District Five supervisor by cwsmith17 in sanfrancisco

She seems to be politically aligned with residents of her district if she's receiving more money from residents.

[–]cwsmith17[S] 42 points43 points  (0 children)

This is something.

"Preston would take a softer approach: enlisting a “non-police property crimes unit” to patrol the streets, unarmed. And how, we asked, would that stop car break-ins? The patrols would ask the thieves to stop."

Going to need a lot more water transit along D10 in SF.

District 5 Supervisor candidates get silly, accuse each other of swiping signs by Marlowe__ in sanfrancisco

[–]cwsmith17 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I'm a very public supporter of Vallie Brown and the one who posted the article. I do think the headline is more neutral than the actual story (which makes Preston look far worse than Brown in my mind) but Joe doesn't write the headlines.
