Dublin really pissed off their neighbors in doing so (looking at you, Livermore) because all the cities surrounding it wanted to stay small.

They’re scared of three story townhouses “looming” over them? What do they think they’re going to do?

It was clearly a nerve-wracking experience (you can hear a wobble in her voice that isn't just from trying to shout as loud as a whole cheer squad) but she stuck to it and did an amazing job. Go Katrina! 🌟

Nah. Cities and counties have had decades to get this NIMBY shit handled on their own and the proof is in the pudding; they've almost unanimously failed and hordes of lifelong Californians have had to suffer the consequences from your entitlement. The state has been threatening to step in for years so here we are. Hopefully as many eight story buildings as humanly possible get built before any such ballot initiative is a glint in Steph Curry's eye.

We did that in Mass. and it got a lot of housing built. The thing is that when people hear 'low income' they are thinking Section 8. When even the low income people are couples that have 60K jobs, a lot of the stigma goes away.

Or giving people a much needed second chance and help in their recovery and become members of society. But, sure let’s reject them and label them regardless.
Not like non-addicts don’t steal from their jobs.

Overall it sounds good but the 20% lower income requirement is a poison pill. The non-low income units will all be “luxury” priced to make up for the low rents/sales for the low-income units. When renters/buyers are paying a premium, they don’t want low income neighbors - plenty of complaints about this all over the state. Builders won’t build as a result. It won’t do much for regular people.
I’m generally not a fan of low income housing except for the seriously disabled. Keeping low wage earners’ cost of living artificially low just ends up as a subsidy for the wealthy - government pays most of their rent so employers don’t have to pay it as wages. trying to move up in income means you lose money because you lose the housing subsidy. It’s a feel good policy that provides a lot of carrots and sticks to keep people poor. This is how people who are able to move up the socioeconomic ladder don’t. This prevents low income housing from opening up for people with mental health issues and other disabilities that prevent work.

If I was a lotto winner, then Outer Sunset district better be lookin’ nervously at their surrounding, because a whole bunch of land would be about bought up and replaced with a hi-rise boulevard, a second market street, and surrounded by 4-10 story apartment blocks.
