San Francisco Board Overrides Mayor's Veto, Limits Housing in Historic Districts

In a contentious decision, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors has passed legislation to limit housing density in historic areas, defying Mayor London Breed's veto.

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors overruled Mayor London Breed's veto, enacting housing density controls in historic districts.
The legislation targets the Jackson Square Historic District and the Northeast Waterfront Historic District, aiming to preserve the city's character.
