H.P. Hovercraft: Jan 12, 2004; one thing a computer can do that most humans can't is be sealed up in a cardboard box and sit in a warehouse; Slippery Tilde

Reducing housing construction costs would be of particular benefit for affordable housing, where every dollar saved translates into subsidy for additional units. Indeed, the key theme to emerge from the focus groups was that although city regulations and processes were implemented with �good intentions,� the layering of these requirements can undermine the goal of housing affordability and in some instances creates a situation of �death by a thousand cuts.� As one interview respondent put it, �At some point we have to decide whether we care more about housing people or the city�s pride at being the �best� at everything.�

also lol the city only funds stormwater via new development wtf

The second approach discussed was the need to better balance the benefits and costs of these regulations, and to track which properties were bearing the greatest costs of conservation. Participants suggested that the city conduct explicit cost-benefit analyses of new and existing
requirements that exceed state requirements. This would be particularly useful for the city�s new stormwater systems. As one affordable housing developer explained, �We�re taking on the costs of managing stormwater for the whole city on just a few new projects, even though the project itself doesn�t necessarily directly benefit from these infrastructure investments.� An idea would be to look at models from other cities, which levy stormwater fees on all residential properties (new and existing) to more broadly distribute the costs of these new systems.

vaguely related but there's this one guy who keeps posting on nextdoor here advocating much denser development to help cut rents.

somehow along the way it came out that he also owns/runs eight full time Airbnb properties in the immediate area.

�Scott Wiener has taken what all the planning literature says is important � this is how you reduce pollution � and put it in this bill,� Lewis said.

In the Bay Area, SB 827 would affect neighborhoods close to BART, Caltrain and Muni stations. It would override certain local zoning rules in those areas to permit homes to be built nearby, but the local permitting and approval processes would not be affected.

did they fix the bit of california law where developers are by law allowed to only charge developer fees of $3.48 per square foot in compensation to school districts in exchange for each unit they build irrespective of higher local costs? no?

because I�m not sure that adding 200 1k square foot apartments adds only $700k of one-time costs for school infrastructure in a school district in a high-cost location like the bay area

i mean both halves of the developer situation in the bay area are just hosed

takes forever to get poo poo approved, and then in turn you get to reap the profits when schools are stuck serving tons of kids because the land costs too much to build a new school with the payments that are kept low to encourage people to build

just a few months ago republicans wanted to tax all the 401ks

no, they wanted to replace all regular 401ks with roth 401ks. this is almost always a better deal for the taxpayer, and it is always worse for the government's balance sheet, because it's a much bigger tax benefit.

the reason republicans wished to do this is that it front-loads tax revenue. all the costs for roth 401ks are pushed into the future, and all the revenues are pushed into the present. (with a regular 401k, the tax cut is granted now, and the revenue comes later.)

the only reason to bother: it would have made their giant turd of a tax bill look less expensive in the 10 year projections required by the byrd rule

With some limitations, SB 827 would eliminate restrictions on the number of houses that can be built within a half-mile of BART and within a quarter-mile of major bus routes, including Muni and AC Transit. It would also block cities from mandating parking requirements.
