Project drawing from SF City Planning documents.
The 5M project on Fifth Street will be completed this year, including its new market-rate housing.
If another big market-rate project is approved on this same block as proposed by 469 Stevenson, that would put all other existing housing nearby at risk of being purchased by “investors” to be ‘flipped’ into up-market tech-worker housing.
Among other things, market-rate housing likely means more car traffic (if nothing else, from Uber and Lyft, Amazon, and food-delivery services).
He made the classic Yimby argument—that the city needs more housing, including larger family-sized units, and that this project includes sufficient affordable housing.
