i'm very glad that katie tang has removed the amendment to section two '07 to the planning code to allow an a.d.u. in new construction. as we know, demolishing sound affordably priced existing housing conflicts with san francisco's a general planned policies. replacing sound housing with one larger unit or two or three new units of new construction, depending on zoning, plus an a.d.u. does nothing to address affordability and adds to displacement because of new construction is not subject to rent control and his way too expensive. new construction caters to people who are willing to pay top dollar to live in a city and real estate speculators looking for profit. i am i'm glad this proposed amendment would be removed because it will create an incentive for demolition and would not bode well for san francisco residen for smack blank mac.
