Interesting SF Chronicle article on how an SF housing nonprofit has become a vociferous opponent of new housing and a kingmaker in local politics by, in essence, funding local ballot measures with millions of dollars in federal affordable housing funds. https://t.co/ZhCleGenK0
Also, here's an interesting suggestion, from another low-income developer, which is that instead of using federal housing funds to run ballot campaigns and employ SF's endless well of consultants that money might instead be used to improve low-income units or lower the rents. pic.twitter.com/wyW5Z0tyjk
Oh wow, look at this. Some people think it's a little untoward for the head of an affordable housing nonprofit to live rent free in one of of his org's low-income buildings, in particular since anyone else making $200,000 would not qualify. pic.twitter.com/mAays3EOOx
Still, other raise questions about the ethics of an affordable housing advocate who makes $200K (funded by federal low-income housing funds) living in a low-income unit (funded by federal low-income housing funds), for free. pic.twitter.com/xhAquWUoAK
