District 5 candidates on how they will speed up housing
Briefly

San Francisco has a new mandate from the state of California to build 82,000 new homes by 2031, with over half designated as affordable. However, current housing development is at risk due to systemic issues and political animosity.
The lengthiest timelines and processes hinder housing projects. Candidates in District 5 acknowledge the challenges but emphasize collaboration over animosity to improve the situation.
Candidates express support for innovative solutions like legalizing co-housing to optimize available space, reflecting a need to adapt century-old laws to current demands and increasing housing availability.
Despite opposing specific developments like Parcel K, there is an expressed commitment among candidates to support any development in San Francisco, highlighting a willingness to explore creative solutions.
