 * "In October 2021[1], the Board of Supervisors and Mayor Breed's office passed a proposal to allow slightly greater density by legalizing fourplexes for each lot and six unit complexes on corner lots. Further, the measure lessens the property ownership time from five years (as the original proposal stated) to one year before owners can subdivide lots. While the policy has limited impact on streamlining the housing approval process, policy proposer and Board of Supervisor Rafael Mandelman says "it's an important step in the right direction to increase [housing] density in San Francisco".
 * “One of the main avenues for increasing the amount of long-term housing resources available to unhoused individuals is the removal of current affordable housing construction obstacles. While the city’s Board of Supervisors approved a streamlining ballot measure that would expedite the development approval process for projects that would pay construction workers a middle-class wage for developments that are either 100% affordable housing, increased affordability/mixed-income housing, or educator housing. (SPUR, 2022). The proposal (Proposition D) received only 49% of the minimum required 51% of votes in the November 2022 election (City and County of San Francisco). Since then, robust policy proposals to streamline approval time have been limited (San Francisco Planning).”
