Housing & YIMBY

California is projected to lose nearly one million public school students by 2031—a 15.7% enrollment collapse driven by soaring housing costs that's three times the national average. In San Francisco, the dysfunction is on full display: SFMTA just gutted 365 of 465 promised affordable units from a major transit project after admitting the funding was never actually secured, while a Chinatown housing nonprofit with 29 LLCs and $163 million in assets faces scrutiny over undisclosed financial conflicts. The through-line is a state where housing policy failures are accelerating population flight, and the institutions claiming to solve the problem keep making it worse.
