CA warns SF it may lose funding if city doesn't meet housing goal

- You've probably heard the term "streamlining" when it comes to the permit process for new housing in San Francisco. Yet despite efforts to build 82,000 new housing units in the next eight years, San Francisco's streamlining process hasn't gone far enough to meet that goal. So, California has put San Francisco on notice by threatening to lose millions in funding. abc7ne.ws/49hu7Lm

The obvious question is: who benefits from the obstacles that prevent new housing units? I wonder if current property owners are worried that building thousands of new housing units will lower rent and, therefore, lower their rental incomes.
More housing units near them means according to them (although they won't ever admit it), means more poor black and brown people moving in, followed by an increase in crime, followed by a plummeting of their property values.
@@jeschr3462according to me too. Facts are facts
They want to make SF as the most expensive city. It can't be expensive if you allow them to add more and more home at lower price. They wanted rich get richer and the poor to get poor. This is intentional. Look at Tokyo housimg policy. They very friendly zoning and the house value stay mostly the same.
San Mateo Oakland and suburbs surrounding San Francisco should build more housing. San Francisco is full.
Even after all those people moved out its still ungodly expensive.
The sheer number of NIMBYs in SF is astounding. And its so easy for them to railroad any new developments from just one complaint and the burden is on the business/developers to prove otherwise, wasting their resources. I heard that a few apartment owners in one of those ocean view condos filed a complaint to the city since their ocean view would be slightly obstructed from this new development. In the end, the condo owners managed to get the developer to cancel the entire project. Insane, what a failed city :(
WTF ISD GOING ON HERE IN SF
Probably another crime family in power there, it's how they destroyed Detroit/working on chicago. They tend to steal contracts/divert funds, typical.
And you wonder why housing is getting more and more expensive….. time is money!
Each day of delay cost $$$ on building loans!
San Francisco is a joke. You can’t build in the city unless your Rich $$
just get rid of dean preston already!
The board of supervisors has been stopping the mayor for awhile on making actions
There are 61,000+ vacant units in San Francisco, 15% of all housing units. Downtown San Francisco has 18.4 million square feet of empty office space. The vacancy rate for the second quarter of 2023 was 31.8%. There is plenty of room for new housing units in San Francisco. All it takes is the will of the people to make it happen.
All it takes is the will of the politicians to make it happen.
I fixed it for you.
you think building is hard...try changing zoning
Why does people keep thinking one can convert office buildings into residential building? Office buildings do not have the infrastructure, not enough water supplies, plumbings, elevators to able to live in.
There are not 61k vacant housing units.
Unfortunately, too many property owners and folks involved with real estate only care about money when it comes to housing.
I'm all for it. If local residents keep blocking new construction, then maybe the state SHOULD temporarily take over until they get their act together
THATS IS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS IF ONE RESIDENT CAN BLOCK THE CONTRUCTION
Yes, the state has done such a fine job so far. San franshitco unfortunately has been used as an example of the condition of the entire state over all. So, yes let the state take over.
@@danielbrown7535 I agree the state has it's own issues, but if SF can't or is not willing to do it, let the state step in...temporarily as mentioned
it has to happen;
it feels so wrong for a city to have people who have already have a home can just block newcomers from getting a home @@TC-cd5sm
Every time they knocked down old buildings in SOMA, a new luxury apartment/condo get built.
Hard to build affordable housing when land, labor, and materials are very expensive.
How about just filling all the empty units?! God forbid they drop the prices
Incompetence all over
"we can kiss affordable housing in san francisco goodbye" what city are you living in? it left a long time ago
Who in their right mind would invest their money in SF rental housing? They have transferred property rights from the investors to the tenants. The rent control is so punitive that some owners would rather keep their units vacant than take the risk on a tenant. Rather than examine the negative consequences of their policies and the perverse incentives they have created they introduce a vacancy tax. This is like their housing policies were designed by Rube Goldberg and their motto is "the beatings will continue until morale improves". The junkies must not be the only ones smoking meth and fetty.
Rent control is needed and necessary parasite
A bunch of people. A bunch of people to that question. To that question, a bunch of people. /
@@jordanjohnson9866 Are you investing your savings to build rental housing for others in SF? There are many crowdfunding platforms for real estate projects you could utilize.
ITS FETTY LICIOUS
Please tell what affordable housing is for someone who lives on the street? I would imagine that most if not all are dead broke.
It’s time to vote the board of supervisors out and get new people elected along with everyone else including the governor and get SF back inline and crack down on the drugs and the homeless along with everything else. I want to see this city and state free once again..
Supervisors are useless alcoholics !!!
Nah, die hard progressives want the city to die with them. Their communist plans will work one day.
vote out? Many of its progressive San Franciscan voted and supported these individuals into power! None of garbage and lawlessness you see today are a phenomenon that took place overnight but through years and decades of policies focus on supposedly helping and protecting individuals that would be associated in the class of victims of society's supposed racist institution and declaring that all ILLEGALS would also get the same protected rights. These fentanyl sellers...there might just be a chance with a good number of them being sellers but then again. The city's commitment to refuse to work with ICE. I don't know if anyone remember that incident with that ILLEGAL migrant shot and kill a woman. Yes he was found not guilty. Yes he was deported but managed to come back to the US multiple occasion. This is the kind of silliness and sadness that will won't go away. Heck, I would rather push the dude off the pier and be done with it but then again...the city would rush to the city of the killer and protect him at all cost. Do I feel sad? Yes, I only feel sad for the people that are against San Francisco and its backward society and those that are against it are a small minority.
The voters were given the opportunity to recall Governor Newsom. It failed miserably.
SF is for old, slightly dated rich people. No wonder it hasn't bounced back since Covid-19 tbh...
Forcing the market is the only way it happens cause gotta eliminate supply and demand l. Took Wisconsin 18 years to get approved for the country’s largest wind farm. Haven’t even started on construction
Just one more reason to leave that state liberals are trashing it
Every city worker needs to be building public housing.
They have plenty of empty retail that office space now that they can turn into shelters. Oh and also hotels.
Welp, rich people don't want to have unrich neighbors. And that's the primary issue. It's a freaking shame that you have people making 6figures who can't afford to live within 30minutes of the city.
They're obviously not goint to pull any funding.
I live and work in San Rafael. I don't go to city much but I was in SF this Sunday. Marina was dead, people would picnic and fill the grassy area by water. Fishermans Whart was empty even though there was big boat docked. Downtown and Powel st had little action. But in general shops were moved or shut. I couldn't believe what I saw. City became a ghost town. Rent is extremely high.
Lies. The city is thriving. You must’ve went during the week and early .
@@californiamade5608. Define “thriving” in so far as what was going on over three years ago.
@@FIGGY65 three years ago we were on lockdown. Sure the demographics changed, but that’s all over since the pandemic. Fact is, SF is in recovery mode, and not this doom loop that most of you outsiders always say that it’s in.
@@FIGGY65 haters gonna hate !!!
People are trolls 🧌
Lolol. No one in their right mind would invest one red cent in San Francisco, let alone California as a whole!!!
Good!!
All of the rules in the city were upheld by Newsome and Weiner before they went to the city. Novel excuses by Newsome and Weiner.
Except many of the bills by Weiner are the reason why the state is able to bring down the hammer
SF has lost its soul.
WHY YOU GUYS FROM THE NEWS DO NOT NAME OR INTERVIEW THE PEOPLE WHO IS HOLDIN IT UP?????? ASK THEM WTF????
I guess people would rather build in San Jose than San Francisco, That's all the numbers. Tell me
The problem is that every time there's a proposal to open a new homeless shelter, or build affordable housing in SF, the locals fight it tooth and nail. They're super in favor of helping the homeless, but just not in their neighborhood! And they keep re-electing the same politicians and voting against their own best interests, resulting in the hamster wheel of squalor and ineptitude.
Gentrification caused by the policies?
the reason why the state could control what sf can build?
potential harm of people not being able to get a house in said city
No training state ion
Let the State make the Rules ~ the leaders we have in sf .... act like a bunch of Little Kids.... we need a grown up in the Room...
Newsom is a temperamental child himself, so he’s no help.
FORGET ABOUT IT, JUST BUILD TEEPEES in the FOREST
Lots of vacant land in Golden Gate Park?
Vacant? No. It's being used as a park.
Presidio + GGpark ≈ 2500 acres ≈ 8.5% of SF's total 47 mi2.
Gavin Newsom really robbing people legally
Highrise affordable housing can be built on treasure island. Thats sf county too.
The soil conditions aren't suitable for highrise construction. The island is sinking.
Nimby Aaron Peskin is at fault
Build anywhere in SF, but around Telegraph Hill (Dwellers association) where he lives, nope, nada.
Reopen Alcatraz
😂😅There's not allot of land, that's why the mayor wanted to remove growth restrictions 😅😂
Overcrowding destroys the quality of life, multifamily buildings should be outlawed

Democrat Utopia….
The city fail, the top official fail to do her job.
About God damn time.
Build it for people who can afford to live here lol like from other allied countries

Thank god we're getting a new Silicon Valley.
conspiracy theory of Landlords to price out the crime and keep rent high
Zillow has 1000s of homes for rent in San Francisco
Not in my back yard. Oh hell no. 😂😂😂🤦♂️
I don't want affordable housing. Keep the property values up.
They should make HOA and NIMBY a crime!.!.
The City is doing this on purpose. They dont want high density housing. The ADUs are also just going to make it worse since it wont provide enough units to lower prices on supply but it will add a lot of speculator value to properties further raising mortgages and rents.
There are plenty of space nearby, it's called the ocean housing

The problem is people who worked extremely hard to buy a house, to avoid being in bad areas and poor people, and now with these new units coming by, the very same people theyre tying to avoid, is coming.
you would rather them be cast out onto the street? affordable housing saves lives and native san franciscans are suffering
@@colepragides5727 i have lived in very dense areas in america, crime, pollution, noise happens. Its best to move to a different state if you cant afford san francisco. The more you build, to house more people, and it gets cheaper, new people will move into san francisco and the problem continues. Try building 2 million apartments, im sure rent will drop to 700 a month for a 2 br, but many people will flock there.
You are obviously an evil NIMBY
You're talking about boomers that bought their house for 35k and have rent control from prop 13. Go cry me a river.
The problem with san francisco is there are too many san franciscans
