Housing
It's no secret that San Francisco is a wonderful place to live. To address the constant and growing demand for housing, we need to find ways to encourage both market-rate and below-market-rate housing in San Francisco, as well as different kinds and sizes of housing. For years, due to a laborious entitlement process and short-sighted political decisions, our housing production has failed to keep track with our population growth, which has led to sky high rents and exceedingly expensive real estate prices. We also need to stabilize and protect our existing rent-controlled units through eviction protections. Through these two mechanisms - encouraging growth and ensuring housing stability - San Francisco can continue to grow as a city for all.
