The San Francisco Planning Department's plan aims to add tens of thousands of homes by increasing height and density limits, focusing significantly on the city’s Westside. This initiative, supported by Mayor Daniel Lurie, seeks to meet California's mandate of 82,000 housing units by 2031 and adds 36,000 units under updated zoning. Lurie's political balancing act appeals to pro-development advocates while risking local backlash. This pro-housing shift diverges from his campaign, where housing issues were secondary to public safety, highlighting the evolving dialogue around urban housing in San Francisco.
"The proposed changes would accommodate 36,000 units in addition to those allowed under current zoning, essential for meeting state housing requirements by 2031."
"In a pleasant surprise for pro-housing organizations, now that he is in Room 200, Lurie is taking a pro-upzoning line, marking a shift from his campaign stance."
