"With the city of San Francisco staring down the barrel of a state-mandated requirement to build 82,000 new housing units by the year 2031, Mayor Daniel Lurie has made his signature proposal a so-called family zoning plan to meet that requirement. That plan calls for upzoning that would allow for heights of up to six stories in the mostly single-family housing Sunset District, 16 stories along the Marina's Lombard Street, and up to 24 stories on parts of Van Ness Avenue."
"A report from City Economist Ted Egan forecast that Lurie's plan would only result in 40% of the units required for that 82,000-unit goal, and even that 40% likely wouldn't all materialize until 14 years after the 2031 target date. Mission Local adds that the report found Lurie's plan wouldn't really make apartments more affordable either, with estimated monthly renter savings only $75 to $125 a month, even if the upzoning came to full fruition."
San Francisco faces a state mandate to build 82,000 new housing units by 2031. Mayor Daniel Lurie’s family zoning plan proposes upzoning allowing six-story buildings in the Sunset, 16-story along Lombard in the Marina, and up to 24 stories on parts of Van Ness. The plan is projected to deliver roughly 40% of the required units, with much of that output delayed up to 14 years beyond 2031. Estimated renter savings would be only $75–$125 monthly even if fully realized. The plan would add about 732 units per year versus the roughly 10,000-plus units annually needed. YIMBY groups threaten lawsuits and west-side voters are organizing a recall.
