Overview

• San Francisco's initial housing plan, aiming to add 82,000 homes by 2031, faces state scrutiny for not proving its capability to meet targets.
• Mayor Breed emphasizes a more aggressive approach to fulfill the promise of 36,000 new homes, adjusting focus towards mid-rise buildings.
• State Department of Housing may decertify San Francisco's housing element, risking loss of crucial funding, due to plan's inadequacy.
• Volunteer analysts find the city's plan insufficient, suggesting it would add fewer than 8,000 units, far below the 36,000-home target.
• Breed's revised directive aims to balance neighborhood concerns with the need for more housing, advocating for development along transit corridors.
