FWIW the Chase Center is 100% privately financed. SF is actually benefitting from private investment into public transportation to/from the arena. Public housing is great, but it’s not like the city chose this instead of that.
- Retric 8y agoZoning is up to the city so it chose this. SF does not need public housing, even 1 million dollar condos in a high rise would help.
- mathattack 8y agoI agree. They can zone for housing. Anything that increases overall supply helps. They have mechanisms to encourage density (and affordability) too.

- capkutay 8y agoshould cities not have entertainment venues that are welcomed by local residents?
- mathattack 8y agoNot if it confounds homeless problems.
- Retric 8y agoFocusing on local residents tends to be a sum optimal. Focus on what’s best for all city residents and you avoid a lot of local maxima in favor of a global one. Remember, people often have limited understanding of impacts focusing on a small percentage of what’s going on. Aka sound byte politics, a stadium is only half the story rarely used, low density parking can be a larger issue.
