It says the funds were secured by a private foundation (ok), yet it also appears this is an official governmental policy/program (not ok)? I'm not entirely sure how this would be permitted under the 14th Amendment. It certainly doesn't fit any of the currently recognized "compelling government interests" necessary to justify explicitly race-based policies. And I'm not opining about the wisdom or benefits of the program, just the current state of Constitutional law. It seems to me that a new "compelling government interest" would need to be recognized in order to avoid running afoul of the Equal Protection Clause. That may be possible in the lower courts, but the Supreme Court has not recognized a new "compelling government interest" since the very early 1980's, I believe. I could be wrong about that. This is a long-winded way of saying that I predict this policy would be declared unconstitutional if it ever worked its way up to the high court.

This guy puts honey bear art on walls and people haaate him because he's like a symbol of gentrification which is a very SF thing to do and him describing himself as an immigrant from Missouri is also a very SF thing. Just awful all around

My GUESS is that we'd have to go back to before the term "silicon valley" was coined to identify a time that was truly rough on yuppies in that area.

Love the idea but if you can’t make it cheaper than a retail fast food meal I’m not sure how many would really be interested.

It was not rejected because of shadows, it actually was just delayed for some reason - this whole thread is pretty interesting (and very long)

https://twitter.com/_fruchtose/status/1415811329487634435

and really there's plenty of reasons to not like this project that don't consider shadows - I think the main one is none of the units have kitchens and people are just worried they'll be airbnb's.

thanks for the correction and additional information. that makes the situation appear less ridiculous, but in some ways worse (zoning says you can only build multi-unit housing here if units are one room, no kitchen -> commission meeting: all commissioners yell at them for not having kitchens in their tiny one room units).

it was someone encouraging/surprising that most of the comments seemed to be in support of the development.

oh yeah, the planning commission is pretty wacky
