Housing & YIMBY

California is projected to lose nearly one million public school students by 2031—a 15.7% collapse driven by an affordability crisis that's pushing families to Idaho, Florida, and Texas. In San Francisco, the dysfunction is on full display: SFMTA quietly gutted 365 of 465 promised affordable units from a major transit project after admitting the funding was never real, while a Chinatown housing nonprofit sits on $163 million in assets and 29 LLCs with questions mounting about financial disclosure. Across the state, a growing debate is exposing the tension between progressive housing politics and basic economics—with developers, reformers, and departing families all reaching the same conclusion.
