Honest question:
Is the argument that, as a developer, I should be able to construct a large building with 1-person apartments the size of prison cells, say, if there is a market for that? Should the only limit be restrictions imposed by fire safety policy or similar?
- whimsicalism 6y agoThese are called SROs and their demolition in SF is among one of the many causes of the current visible homelessness.
- spiralx 6y agoNo, building codes are a separate issue from land-use restrictions. Apartments must still meet whatever standards exist which can include minimum facilities, size and number of floors. Although at the limit such standards can be effectively the same as simply banning apartments outright, so there is crossover.
