The San Francisco Democrat's scaled-down idea, unveiled Monday, would allow two- to four-unit apartment buildings in suburban neighborhoods, depending on a city's size.
The Third District Court of Appeal overturned the part of the law barring employees of long-term care facilities from willfully and repeatedly using anything other than residents' preferred names and pronouns. In doing so, the law banned employees from using the incorrect pronouns for trans residents, also known as misgendering them, or using their legal name, also known as deadnaming them.
Wiener is a YIMBY, which stands for 'yes in my backyard'. Unlike Fielder and many other powerful California Democrats, he believes that making it easier for private actors to build more housing in the state's densest and most expensive cities is key to relieving California's housing shortage.
A central goal of the boycott was to put pressure on other states, but a recent report by City Administrator Carmen Chu's office found that only one state had been removed from the list and none ever said they changed their laws because of San Francisco's. Additionally, the report found that the law made city contracting a more cumbersome and expensive process. An earlier report from the board's Budget and Legislative Analyst found that implementing the boycott had cost the city nearly $475,000 in staffing expenses. And the city was approving a large number of exemptions to the boycott anyway: Departments granted 538 waivers for contracts worth $791 million between mid-2021 and mid-2022, the report found. The legislative analyst said the full effect of the boycott on the city's contract costs was difficult to pin down but pointed to past research that had found that a fully competitive process could produce savings up to 20%.
The growing #YIMBY movement is changing everything: making clear that housing is a good thing, that we need more of it, that our housing status quo is broken, & that it isn't progressive to obstruct housing. Let's keep fighting for a bright housing future.
