CRACKING THE CODE
How did we get here? Originally enacted for health and safety, zoning laws in San Francisco have been repeatedly used to to limit housing access, even in contradiction of Constitutional law. Local control of land use, exercised to resist government-supported private interests, and compounded by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), has transformed our codes into tools that make housing development in much of the City as difficult as possible.
