Starting today, San Francisco is going from having the longest permitting process to one of the shortest. This is a huge deal. I was proud to join Senator Senator Scott Wiener and pro-housing supporters to celebrate SB 423 going into effect, which will streamline the housing approval process in... San Francisco, cutting through red tape and accelerating the construction of both affordable and market-rate housing. Under this new state law, we are going from getting housing approved in years to just months. This is about families, about workers, and about the next generation growing up here being a part of this city’s future. This is a significant step in our ongoing commitment to addressing the housing shortage and building a more inclusive city.show more

@Scott_Wiener So you admit that your policies sucked. Thats a start.

@Scott_Wiener When all else fails….implement an obvious conservative policy

Todd Miller2 years ago

@Scott_Wiener Now your building permit will be denied in only a few months instead of a few years.

@Scott_Wiener Why did it have the longest in the first place?

jgillis20042 years ago

@Scott_Wiener Funny how that works, 3 months before reelection... too little - much too late.

@Scott_Wiener You have failed as a Mayor of an International City and you should step down.

Edward2 years ago

@Scott_Wiener So you have to pass a bill to cut thru the red tape you created and then pay yourselves on the back for it. Did I get that right?

Houman David Hemmati, MD, PhD2 years ago

@Scott_Wiener I’ll hand it to @Scott_Wiener — he’s either created several clones of himself or he’s managed to find a way to be at 10 events at once. All day. Every day. Pride, press conferences on housing, you name it… all while tweeting like mad.

@Scott_Wiener It just took the collapse of your city to make it happen

Travis Curnutte2 years ago

@Scott_Wiener Your city is dead. Resign.

Housing is a human right. No one in this city should have to worry about losing their home or end up on the streets due to systemic issues. Homelessness and the housing crisis are not two different problems, they are two sides of the same coin. And they have the same solution – permanent affordable housing. Trickle down economics is a fallacy. The market cannot provide affordable housing. Prices are only going up, driving people into homelessness, or out of the city entirely. Rae will build social housing on public lands and speed up housing production citywide, cutting red tape while keeping in place tenant and homeowner protections to ensure that people are able to keep their homes. Rae will streamline the city’s housing strategy, creating a Mayor’s Office of Housing For All to consolidate these different departments under one roof, with a public dashboard to track progress and hold us accountable.

Yesterday the Board of Supervisors passed our Family Zoning Plan to plan for more housing across our city and help make it more affordable. This is a step toward building a San Francisco where our families, workers, and next generation can put down roots and thrive.

Senator Scott Wiener pushed through Senate Bill 35 which allowed housing developments with a percentage of affordable units to streamline the approval process in San Francisco, California Residents say they don’t want more housing units, they don’t want to live next to affordable housing Even with the incentives to build affordable housing, The typical subsidized apartment still costs roughly $900k–$1.2 million to build in San Francisco The rent prices are on an income based system If you make 50% of the average income you could pay as little as $1,600 for a 1 bedroom. If you make 80% of the average income you would pay $2,550+ for a 1 bedroom in these subsidized housing projects Market-rate units in the same new buildings Studio: about $3,200 1-bed: about $4,300 2-bed: about $5,200

Spent the day at LeFrak City in Queens talking to residents about affordable housing With a 1% vacancy rate, NYC is in the midst of a housing crisis — how do you solve it? Build, build, build. There are over 1K sites ready to be developed today. Cut the red tape, expedite the permitting process and get shovels in the ground, generating good paying jobs in the process. My plan is to build 500K units of new housing to increase supply and drive costs down for everyone — market rate and rent regulated I did it as Housing Secretary, and with LGA airport, Moynihan Train Hall and the 2nd avenue subway — we can do it again now

BUILDING HOMES, BUILDING A GREATER OGUN STATE Over the last seven years, we have deliberately transformed the housing landscape of Ogun State, making affordable and quality housing a major pillar of our commitment to improving the lives of our people. Since the creation of Ogun State, no administration has delivered affordable housing on the scale we have achieved within this period. Across different parts of the State, we have developed housing estates and delivered thousands of housing units, providing decent homes for families while opening up new communities and stimulating economic activities. For us, housing goes far beyond putting roofs over people’s heads. It is about creating liveable communities, providing dignity and security for families, generating employment for artisans and professionals, supporting local businesses, and creating lasting assets for our people. Through developments such as the Prince Court Estate, Kobape; Kings Court Estate, Oke-Mosan; Kemta Idi-Aba Housing Estate; Ilaro Housing Estate; Ijebu Ode Housing Schemes in Sagamu, Iperu and other similar projects across the State, we have demonstrated that government can deliver modern, functional and affordable homes while maintaining quality standards. Our housing revolution has also created opportunities across the entire construction value chain, from engineers and architects to bricklayers, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, suppliers and thousands of other workers whose livelihoods have benefited from these investments. What we have achieved in seven years is unprecedented in the history of our dear State, but we remain focused on doing even more. As we continue to build a more prosperous Ogun State, we will keep investing in housing and urban development because we believe that every family deserves the opportunity to live in a decent environment and every community deserves the infrastructure required to thrive. This is our commitment to building our future together.

The Council's #CityForAll housing plan with $5 billion of investments and modified zoning changes are estimated to create over 80,000 new homes, while helping to strengthen neighborhoods and make housing more affordable. This is the most pro-housing plan in NYC history, including the first citywide zoning text amendment designed to create new homes with our modification to open every part of the city to affordable housing through inclusionary zoning.

You saw my recent video showing low to middle-income homes at Catherine Estates. Today we look at development taking place in other sections of the housing market. While we have made significant strides in providing middle and affordable housing, we recognize the challenges in the low-income and achievable housing markets. That’s why we continue to incentivize development, provide land, and introduce initiatives like the Guaranteed Purchase Programme (GPP) to attract more builders to this sector. We want to see developers build 10,000 homes at a time, bringing houses to market at a much faster rate. With continued investment, capacity-building, and a long-term vision, we will ensure that every Jamaican has access to safe, affordable housing. We are committed to delivering quality housing for Jamaicans under our housing policy and the transformation of Bernard Lodge is just the beginning. As we continue on this journey, we reaffirm our commitment to the people of Jamaica, because under our housing policy, homeownership is a promise we intend to keep.

Artists will soon have access to 94 affordable homes at 1687 Market Street in San Francisco. Today we broke ground on Artists Hub on Market. In addition to homes for low-income artists, arts workers, arts administrators, entertainment workers, and their families, there will be rehearsal rooms, a black box theatre, and services supporting the arts. Our city is stronger and more vibrant when artists can live in the city where they work. With this groundbreaking, we’re sending a clear message to our arts community: you have a future in San Francisco. Residents will be certified through a new Artist Housing Certification Program run by the Arts Commission, ensuring these homes go to active creative workers. This project is designed to be replicated, so we can build more homes like this across the city, and it is funded thanks to a generous $100 million gift from an anonymous donor and tax-exempt bonds shepherded by the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development. Thank you to Artists Hub on Market and Mercy Housing California for making this project possible and supporting our city’s incredible artists.

San Francisco residents have finally had enough and file a lawsuit against the City of San Francisco over the large concentration of homeless “People living in the south of market neighborhood have filed a complaint against the city. They claim the concentration of homeless resources and affordable housing — This complaint, it’s 47 pages long and the local neighborhood association says it's the result of years of not being heard by the city — These residents say the high concentration of homeless support, resources and affordable housing are leading to what they call a deliberate hyper-concentration of poverty” “The Soma West Neighborhood Association says after years of no action by the city, they filed a complaint to the state alleging the city is violating state housing law and civil rights mandates — This complaint basically says segregation is illegal, so you should, the state requires you to take affirmative steps to desegregate.”

Addressing housing affordability should be a no brainer, but Trump doesn’t give a ####. The political establishment has failed for decades to tackle our crisis of housing costs, and Trump is giving more of the same. We need to turn the page and actually start to make housing affordable again, and signing the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is the first step.

Thanks to the provincial government and Ministers Nathan Neudorf and Jason Nixon, we just broke ground on the first phase of Southview, the largest affordable housing project in Calgary Housing Company history! This is personal for me. I grew up only blocks away in East Calgary. I know how much a stable home and a strong community matter for families. Working with the Province of Alberta, Calgary Housing, and our federal partners, we are building 250 new homes here. These will include one, two, three, and four-bedroom homes, with near-market, affordable, and deeply affordable options. When Council repealed blanket rezoning, we made a clear commitment. We would focus on affordable housing and build the homes Calgarians need, in the right places, with real support for families. That is what this project, and the many more to come, delivers. Calgary is growing toward two million people. We need practical solutions that help people find a home, stay in their community, and build a better future. I am proud of this partnership and grateful to everyone who helped make today happen. This is a major investment in East Calgary, in families, and in a city where everyone has a place to call home.

"...a gamechanger..." "... more significant than any other effort made by a federal government to address the rental deficit in this country." "...a pipeline of genuinely affordable housing..." These are some of the descriptions from the housing industry of Labor's policy to unlock 80,000 rental properties across the country. We want more homes to make housing more affordable, and that's what this will do.

Every housing unit we build lowers the cost of finding a place to live and returns agency to the middle class. In Congress, I’m a cosponsor of the Yes In My Backyard Act (YIMBY) bill, which will prioritize federal dollars for communities that reduce the red tape limiting housing construction. I’m also a champion of getting shop class back in junior high. We’ll fix our housing shortage by reducing red tape, building more housing units, and ensuring young people learn the skills they need to build homes right here in Southwest Washington.

asked about high housing costs and why he won't sign the housing bill, Trump immediately pivots to ranting about "communists" and says, "this country is not going to have communists" (in other words, rigging elections for Republicans with the SAVE Act is more important to him than housing)

This is how bad the San Francisco housing market is This is a “shared room” for rent, it looks similar to a dorm room setup. It’s only 150 square feet The price is $2,600 per month….. The average cost of a 1 bedroom in San Francisco in about $4,300 and for a 2 bedroom you’d be looking at about $6,400 Rent prices in America have to come down

Gavin Newsom’s $101 million dollar Pacific Palisades low income housing projects EXPOSED The new housing complexes come with ‘covenants,’ after a certain amount of years they are no longer low income and convert to market rate James Li It’s a full blown land grab, “One of the largest industries that donated to him was real estate” “Let me tell you what Gavin Newsom is really up to with this hundred million dollar low income housing project in the Palisades. This ultimately is a real estate play in my opinion, because they want this building to go into nice affluent neighborhoods. Because the value of that building is going to be astronomically higher than versus building it in another area where it's underdeveloped or it's a new neighborhood, or it's more on the outskirts of la and ultimately all these affordable units that they have covenants on them. So in 15, 20, 25 years, depending on the, the exact building, all of those affordable housing units will convert to market rate. So that's why they want it in those areas. It's not because like, oh, we're helping the homeless people out. It's like, oh no, this, this is just like a giveaway to real estate developers, right? One of the largest industries that donated to him was real estate. So like this is just him placating to his donors, making sure that they're needs, quote unquote, are being met. This is a long term real estate play to say, okay, we're going to put this building here because in 25 years this building will be worth like 20x if we versus we put in another neighborhood.” It’s all about kickbacks for Gavin Newsom’s donors You know the new low income housing complexes will covenants because that’s what the other properties in LA and San Diego come with. It’s the Democrat scam

I did not vote for the ROAD to Housing Act because we are $39 TRILLION in debt. I’m all for making housing more affordable for American families. But expanding the already bloated Department of Housing and Urban Development is not the answer. Not to mention this bill writes a blank check to blue cities, which we all know will end up going to ILLEGALS, not American citizens.
