The Family Zoning Plan aims to create capacity for 36,000 new units, particularly in the quiet and residential neighborhoods on the west and north sides of the city.
It’s bad for people living in rent controlled units that have not been excluded from the plan, when they are kicked out of their housing to make room for brand new market rate housing which will definitely be well above what most can afford.
Supervisor Melgar’s proposal to exempt buildings with three or more rent-controlled units from demolition was included in the plan passed on Tuesday. The exemption will shield about 80,000 rent control units from demolition. Some rent-controlled units could still potentially be bulldozed to make way for denser development, but that would first require approval from the Planning Commission.
Sounds like a win for industry/oligarchs, not people.
More housing bad? I can see that being bad for NIMBYs or landlords…

What about people living in rent controlled buildings with one or two units. They are not exempt. Where do we expect these people to go?
People really just don’t read shit and comment the one possible downside. Thanks for posting
