- HDThoreaun 4y ago20% of them are for low income only.
- creeble 4y agoBelow-average income, not low income. Homeless people typically have zero income. They will qualify for exactly zero of the new housing these "unzoning" laws permit.
- HDThoreaun 4y ago> Homeless people typically have zero income This is not my understanding. 70% of the homeless in SF had an apartment before they became homeless. They had income, but weren't able to continue to afford the apartment. There's certainly a portion of people who have no desire to be productive, but it's far from all of the homeless or even a majority.
- rr888 4y agoSays who? There are no zoning powers right.
- alexb_ 4y agoSays the state. It's the cities that are losing power.
- rr888 4y agoI could only find local rules eg https://sfplanning.org/home-sf https://sfplanning.org/home-sf. Or a tax break for financing https://www.calpfa.org/private-activity-programs/affordable-multifamily-housing-bonds/ https://www.calpfa.org/private-activity-programs/affordable-...
- HDThoreaun 4y agoDId you read the post?
- kevinburke 4y agoImagine if there was a law that only permitted the construction of cars that cost over $100,000 per year, and then think about the effects of that on used car prices
- Tiktaalik 4y agothe status quo of barely building any new housing at all also doesn't help the homeless at all
