Housing for lower/moderate income people sounds great. But that's it ! The new builder has to offer a very small amount of below market housing. Therefore, anywhere in the city where there is new construction you have these programs. Go get them there out there, The mayor's housing assistance oh that is another program that sounds good, but read all the fine print and try to get a bank these days to lend you money for this program GOOD Luck. This is an inside land grab for more ugly new architecture to go up in our once beautiful aesthetic city .The one before all the clear channel billboards all over. Once voted down by the people to have them built but there was no department to prevent them from doing so to enforce & issue the fines and have them taken down. But no, the sell out of the city greed. In short the housing in SOMA, South of Market do not have the housing value that they COULD have if they had unobstructed views of a once unique beautiful city without the billboards &. IE: the skyscraper that obstructs the Bay Bridge and all the buildings around it oh and by the way since we are talking about earthquake land this monolith and the rest is built on land fill, liquifraction land. City payoff, it's not enough to have us support the city by DPT issuance of false tickets, after quota money insentives, and anything else thay can write you up for at riduculous prices.
So, if this passes, all the construction jammed into some prime real estate with it's cookie cutter architecture that we will look back on and say what were they thinking when they put up these steel boxs. It will bring down the value to the neighborhoods in the long run. (Too much to go into now). Fight city hall, fight for your real estate values
