Housing & YIMBY

San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan is running for Congress on a "pragmatic" record that includes blocking affordable housing and operating as a product of the city's progressive political machine. Her bid comes amid mounting evidence of California's housing-driven crisis: the state is projected to lose nearly one million public school students by 2031, the worst enrollment collapse of any major state, as families flee skyrocketing costs. Meanwhile, SF's own affordable housing failures are coming into focus — from SFMTA quietly gutting 365 promised units at Potrero Yard to nonprofits with 29 LLCs and $777K salaries producing too few homes on the public dime.
