A scathing new report from the state reveals the bureaucratic and costly permitting process builders face when it comes to constructing new housing in San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO -- The first-of-its-kind report issued Wednesday by the California Department of Housing and Community Development is calling out San Francisco for making things extremely difficult for people trying to create more housing.'According to self-reported Annual Progress Report data and prior research from the University of California, Berkeley , San Francisco has the longest timelines in the state for advancing a housing project from submittal to construction,' the report said.
It takes San Francisco an average of 605 days to issue a building permit. It takes 418 days for the next slowest jurisdiction.The report also found that at least 18 city policies and practices are out of compliance with state law. The result is that many of the people who work in the city -- including teachers, police officers and firefighters -- can't afford to live in San Francisco. State Senator Scott Weiner has been a huge proponent for affordable housing.
