They need to lobby the state to take away the city and county governments power to derail construction with bullshit zoning and permitting. If someone wants to build 45 story high rises in sunset district, why should SF stop it.
- acchow 9y agoCity planning is not done well in SF. But it is a real thing. And it can be done well.
- rhino369 9y agoSure, but SF has proved it has no interest in doing it well and the entrenched interests are strongly incentivized to not do well. The current situation is worse than unplanned. I think urban planning makes more sense when you are going from undeveloped to developed. But it's harder to do once you already have developed land that needs to be torn down and redeveloped.
- saosebastiao 9y agoI'm sure it's possible, but at this point getting rid of it entirely would be a net improvement.
