"Any notion that I blocked housing there is 100 percent made up," Preston said, noting that while he supports new housing projects, he advocates for a greater percentage of affordability in those developments. He expressed disappointment over the low number of affordable units in the latest proposal, but reiterated that he does not oppose the 200-unit project set to arise from the site.
Preston highlighted that the protracted timeline for developing the Divisadero site is largely due to shifts in developer interest and market conditions, cautioning against oversimplification of blame. He underscored that before his time as supervisor, he had pushed for affordable housing expansions at the site and recognized the complexities that have hindered progress.
