Delay. Deny. Defend. That’s sadly been your playbook when it comes to homes. It’s such a shame this site never got built.

Love to see it! Same goes for BART. We should have tall developments right on top of Glen Park, 24th and 16th street stations in SF.

I just bought your book simply because I think you have incredible knowledge and insight on housing and architecture. Very curious what evidence you have for this claim of structural market failure for housing. Why markets works for nearly everything but not for homes?

They’re entitled under conditions that make them prohibitively expensive to build. Developers are required to pay a hefty tax for “inclusionary zoning” and use labor and materials that cost ~40% higher than the market. Remove these barriers and watch them pencil like they do all over the country.

This is disingenuous. Making housing largely illegal and subject to discretionary whims makes all types of housing (including subsidized housing) more expensive to build.

Profiles in courage!

Thank you for your leadership and your service.

Oh interesting. So 20 feet of crosswalk is measured from the far side of it?

The legal requirement is 20 ft, this is maybe half of that. Bigger!

What’s the solution?

What’s your take on expanding access to medical care and reducing healthcare costs in CA by joining and implementing IMLC?

How many people do you think are housed with the salary they make from building those carrier groups? Besides geopolitical and security primary reasons defense spending is also a huge domestic jobs program.
