Reply to comment by Snoo6435 in 95% of Bay Area Cities Lost Zoning Authority: In 105 jurisdictions of the Bay Area, anyone can build any residential projected at any height or density so long as 20% of the units are for low income. by dolphins3

Good, they should be able to build as high as they want. The market incentivizes housing that has parking so they would only be hurting the value of their own property by not building sufficient parking for their residents. The alternative is nothing but expensive SFHs for everyone to bid up.

Wrong - while they will be hurting the value of their own property, they won’t only be hurting their own value when parking overflows into the surrounding area. Just gotta think a little harder, champ.

We won't allow developers to destroy century old historic neighborhoods by building rental units. Go somewhere else if you can't afford to live here or go out to the suburbs so you aren't living beyond your means. That way you can still make payments on your BMW's and Audis...when you should drive a beater in order to save for a down payment on a home.

Century old isn’t historic sorry, and old shit isn’t worth preserving for the 1% to enjoy and continue the march of gentrification.

Even if it was, the principle that because a building didn’t fall down for a while it needs to remain forever is not one worth defending. Take pictures.

Yeah, driving a beater will really help make a dent in the 300k down payment. I hope the developers build that hypothetical 8 story building right next to your house.
