Curbed San Francisco: San Francisco lawmakers to debate California housing, transit bill

State Senator Scott Wiener’s (D-San Francisco) latest housing bill SB 827—which would mandate taller, denser housing near public transit in California cities and and affect virtually every block in San Francisco—has found a skeptical audience with some of his old colleagues on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. At Tuesday’s board meeting, San Francisco lawmakers will consider whether or not to officially oppose the proposed law. While the vote would have little direct effect on the fate of the bill, it could hurt SB 827’s sales pitch if Wiener’s own hometown frowns upon it.
