RE:May 24 >17 months now, and who do YOU know that died of covid?

San Francisco CA

Description

Mercy Housing Inc., a senior complex had 116 cases of COVID-19 and 20 deaths. So you shut your goddamned mouth! Just like the YIMBY’s who misguidedly believe market-rate housing will somehow trickle down to create affordable housing, LPSF apparently believes San Francisco’s government should “get out of the way” and allow developers to build whatever they want. Mayor London Breed announced July 2 that the city of San Francisco was awarded over $130 million in state funds for affordable housing, transportation and infrastructure projects. AHSC provided $30 million, of which $20 million will fund a 157-unit affordable housing project scheduled to begin construction in the summer of 2021. The quick development process was praised by the interim director of the San Francisco Dept. of Homelessness and Supportive Housing. “This project not only provides much needed permanent supportive housing but also takes an innovative approach in reducing time and costs,” said Abigail Stewart-Kahn. “833 Bryant St. public-private partnership demonstrates that supportive housing can be developed rapidly and effectively to serve chronically homeless people in our community.” “I am thrilled that these important projects will receive state funding and applaud our City’s efforts to build affordable housing. Now more than ever, due to COVID-19 and the economic fallout, people are suffering financially,” said state Senator Scott Wiener, chair of the California Senate Housing Committee. “Housing insecurity and homelessness are spiking, and we need long-term solutions that get people housed. This is great news in a challenging time, and I look forward to seeing these projects serve our community.”
