I live in a rural area, so I'm no expert...but how do you weigh the value of private property of San Fransiscans vs. the communal good of more apartment units? Surely you wouldn't "knock down" old houses, or would you? Just curious as to your thoughts.
- Redoubts 6y agoZoning is necessarily an infringement of property rights, by the by. > surely you wouldn’t “knock down” I suppose that’s up to the owner. Though the question is about no longer making it illegal for owners to do so.
- flaque 6y agoRezoning doesn’t force anyone out of their homes. It just lets someone sell their homes to someone who will turn around and build a larger building. Buildings in the old zone are grandfathered in. But folks who want to live in a single family home in the middle of san francisco can still do so. Just don’t sell the house.
