The real reason nothing gets built in San Francisco

Patrick Kennedy’s job is to build apartment buildings. Not the ones that loom in the skyline or outrage neighbors, but those that blend in with existing buildings — four or five stories, with 10 to 15 units. The ones that families move into, or that students can afford to rent, or that empty-nesters downsize to. The owner of Panoramic Interests has built dozens of these buildings in Berkeley and San Francisco over the years. Kennedy has several projects underway. But it’s harder than it has ever been to make a project pencil out.

Debate over ‘sprawl' divides California YIMBYs on permitting reform ballot measure

Backers of Proposition 45, a ballot measure designed to streamline permitting approval for a wide range of building projects, say its passage would spur the building of more than 20,000 homes a year. But that number hasn’t swayed some of the state’s most prominent pro-housing organizations, and pro-housing politicians, to back Prop. 45 . Among those groups, debate over the measure has boiled down to where all those new homes would go. Its opponents see the measure as cutting against state policymakers trying to encourage the construction of new homes within urban corridors and alongside public transit routes. Instead, they say the measure, if passed, is more likely to spur building outside urban areas, the kind of large planned housing developments detractors consider “sprawl” housing. Prop. 45’s backers don’t entirely disagree, although they say the measure will also further spur building within urban corridors, where the majority of CEQA lawsuits against housing projects occur, according to a study by one of the measure’s proponents. But more importantly, they say California needs to be building housing in more places to confront a long-running shortage that has driven up both rent and the cost of homeownership. “When we’re short millions and millions
