This is a nice change to consider, and would help. But it won't be a massive improvement. Public housing isn't much of the housing stock and this won't change that. If we even built another 20K units in SF or Oakland in the next 10 years I'd be shocked. The real ones to watch (and support) are things which require local governments to approve housing. Like SB 50, which defaults to approval for buildings up to 35-45 feet near transit. That's Paris / North Beach / Haight style density approved quickly enough to keep costs low. Then you can look at every existing 1 story retail building along bart and imagine 3 stories of apartments on top of them. http://www.oaklandpost.org/2018/12/20/wiener-revamps-bill-denser-housing-transit-rich-areas/ http://www.oaklandpost.org/2018/12/20/wiener-revamps-bill-de... https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/12/7/18125644/scott-wiener-sb-50-california-housing https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/12/7/18125644/s... https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB50 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm...
