In announcing its review of San Francisco’s housing policies, HCD noted the notoriously long wait times for project approvals compared to other major cities.
The move represents an escalation in the simmering conflict between the state of California and the city of San Francisco over the latter’s housing policies, which critics charge have stymied the construction of much-needed new homes in The City.It comes as San Francisco scrambles to draft a state-mandated Housing Element, which requires an adequate strategy to develop more than 80,000 new homes by 2031, and new housing production has slowed to a near standstill.
“We are deeply concerned about processes and political decision-making in San Francisco that delay and impede the creation of housing and want to understand why this is the case,” HCD Director Gustavo Velasquez wrote in a statement. “We will be working with the city to identify and clear roadblocks to construction of all types of housing, and when we find policies and practices that violate or evade state housing law, we will pursue those violations together with the Attorney General’s Office.
