This is a serious question. Why is there so little housing in SF? There’s a new soma revitalization plan with 33k jobs planned and 7k housing units, which 33% has to be affordable. Why isn’t the city building more? Existing neighbourhoods are all terribly ugly imho. Soma before 4th is a weird collection of bad bright coloured architecture; Soma after 4th is...well you all know. Mission Bay is eeriely fake. Nob Hill has the worst period architecture with the Queen Anne’s but boasts itself as European. West side and portrero hill is working class homes for a million dollars. And mission...poop on your door.
1989 earthquake came with government red tapes on housing rules
Proposition 13 is the answer you’re looking for.
lower pac and hayes valley are dope
Larger government → larger problems. Check out those Draconian zoning laws.
Plus countless car breakin and countless weird homeless yelling at you on street and countless poops. A doomed city. RIP
I grew up here and agree 💯
Maybe my least favorite city in the US.
SF is actually quite open to high rise buildings compared to peninsula and south bay
That makes the peninsula and South Bay sound utterly pathetic.
It's really, really bad. How can people become this fucked up?
Airbnb’s fault /s
Lol please
when are you gonna finish book five
Why and how?
You like stepping in human poop and hearing people yell "give me your needle!" outside? You are a masochist.
