Home is where the houses are

SAN FRANCISCO (Map, News) - San Francisco must provide nearly 15 percent of the 215,000 new homes needed in the Bay Area in the coming six years, while San Mateo County must provide 7 percent, officials have determined.

The Association of Bay Area Governments released new county-by-county housing figures Thursday, including the number of new homes built between 1999 and 2006 and the number of new homes required by 2014 to help the area meet state housing laws.

Counties don’t face enforcement actions if they fail to meet the quotas, but failing to meet those quotas could expose them to potential lawsuits, according to ABAG Senior Planner Christy Riviere.

The quotas are broken down by the affordability of the homes, with new units needed by a range of income levels as the strong local economy, as well as childbirth, swells the population, Riviere said.

“We do a fairly decent job in this region of producing above-average income units, but we don’t do a very good job of producing housing for middle-class, working families,” Riviere said. “This process requires cities to find ways to plan for working people.”

San Francisco will be asked to create a disproportionately high proportion of new homes because of its concentration of jobs and transit, Riviere said.

San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association Executive Director Gabriel Metcalf said ABAG’s decision makes sense.

“San Francisco is one of the best places to add housing because we have the transit and the infrastructure to support the growth,” Metcalf said. “It’s far cheaper and far better for the environment to put people inside San Francisco than in a new suburb somewhere.”

Dough Shoemaker, a deputy director in Mayor Gavin Newsom’s Office of Housing, said ABAG’s approach makes sense, but he said The City’s share of state funding should increase accordingly.

The City will be able to meet its quotas, in part because large numbers of new homes are expected in Mission Bay, Bayview-Hunters Point, downtown and in the eastern neighborhoods, Shoemaker said.

Wow, the Convention Center is almost done being build, one day my grandmother and I would go over there, she really knows what's going to happen there. And I wish the Wal-Mart thing would hurry up. I really want to see how the place look in there from Value Food being dusty for the pass 5 years. And I change my mind about the Marshall's being TJMaxx, I want A.J. Wright to be there. And I see they put the Liquor store next to Marshalls. When I went to Marshalls about 2 weeks ago it looked like they were going to closed down, I hope so, I don't like that place. Yes, please knock down those old buildings so it'll be room for people to park and come to Wal-Mart. I hope it'll be a SuperCenter, and I hope its done by 2011.

LOL interesting word choice Gabe, "fusing old San Francisco with the modern look" at your testimony before the Planning Commission on the Market Octavia Plan you supported 400 foot residential towers less than 15 yards from 25 foot 1930's stick build housing behind South Van Ness along Layfayette. Your support for that certainly didn't consider "fusing" anything but rather ripping the fabric in this part of the city. Think about it next time you see your SPUR paycheck show up in your checking account.

Valleyboy, you are delusional. Nobody in their right mind would consider San Jose the premier city in the Bay Area. That is ridiculous! Bigger doesn't mean better. I mean, seriously, most people in the U.S. and the World don't even know where San Jose is. Most people know and admire San Francisco. I used to live in San Jose. I didn't hate it but come on! It is no San Francisco. San Francisco has everything, culture, cool nightlife, amazing restaurants, beautiful parks, the Bay, the Ocean, and its walkable with good mass transit. San Jose, by many counts, is an overgrown suburb. The Silicon Valley is very important, I agree. But San Francisco captures everyones' hearts, not San Jose. Seriously. Your envy is pretty apparent. Be happy for what you have but don't get irrational about it. San Francisco is the best city on the Earth. San Jose is a pretty good city located in the High Tech Capitol of the World. I give it that.

The entire reason for expansion onto open land is to increase tax revenue to the city or county where the land is located. The resulting gradual degradation of quality of life for existing inhabitants whether it be endangered butterflies or endangered human beings is not an issued for goverments. Money is number one always. People's lives and the quality is never an issue. Money is always short in San Mateo County and almost all of its cities due to fiscal mismanagement by their respective governments. One can fight for the land but eventually with eventual over-population there is no way to stop it ... think of it as the beginning of the end. Have a nice day.

ValleyBoy, you have no idea what you're talking about. San Jose has more people than SF (though your numbers are definitely a bit off), yes, but SF has nearly twice as many jobs and is four times as densely populated. San Jose remains the only city in the United States of more than 500,000 people to lose population during the day when people go to work - San Francisco's population gains several hundred thousand people during working hours. Places that lose population when people leave their homes to go to work are what's known as suburbs. San Francisco county also covers only 47 square miles, while Santa Clara county covers more than 1200. Can you grasp how total population is fairly meaningless when you consider the huge gap in the amount of space available in each area? San Francisco remains the major city in the region and that won't be changing. Get used to it

This article is absurdly provincial. Any story about ABAG has to relate how it affects the biggest most important city in the nine county San Jose Bay Area, which is: San Jose, NOT San Francisco. San Jose will top 1 Million people in August (more or less). San Francisco is arguing with the Census bureau if it does or does not have more that 749,000 people, the same population it had in 1950. From a journalistic point of view, the article SHOULD have compared ABAG's requirements to actual growth, vs Cal Dept of Finance projects. SF is projected to grow by less than 1%, while San Jose will do 5-7%. It is a demographic certainty that San Jose will be twice as large as San Francisco by 2020. Why does this article focus on a second tier city like San Francisco ? San Mateo only has 707,000 people living there, Santa Clara almost 2 million. Why not mention the important places like San Jose and Santa Clara instead of burying your head in the sand

In reference to Elkridge and it's designation for affordable housing and high density, I would be most interested in an update from DPZ and the State Highway Administration on how the traffic will be handled at an acceptable level of "C" or better, particularly as one heads north into Baltimore County. A plan to handle traffic going to UMBC, Catonsville Community College, the Arbutus train station and BWI airport and commercialdistrict needs to be designed & implemented before the density is completed. Mass transit by light rail or bus line needs to be in place to support the existing and limited Route 1 right-of-way through Elkridge and into Arbutus. For once, can we not put the infrastructure in place BEFORE the density?

Well yes of course it makes perfect sense to build 400 foot residential towers along South Van Ness from Mission to Market cause nobody in the Hayes Valley area of the Market and Octavia Neighborhood Plan area would have tolerated those monsters. Oh yes, the towers will provide limited to no off street parking, they will cast shadows into residential enclaves where over 400 people now live less than 20 yards to the east in the Western SOMA, create street level winds to rival Fox Plaza. So much for the San Francisco urban fabric which will be torn in this part of The City. No where else has such a disruption been allowed by placing 400 feet towers 20 yards from two story residential. Oh wait, I seem to recall this type of land use proximity in Bangkok. The watch word in San Francisco circles is...dump it in SOMA they wont care. Goes for pot clubs, regional serving night clubs and so called "light industrial use" what a laugh.

Hi,so there is going to be a Giant SuperMarket in the Liberty Plaza? Wow, that's nice. BlockBuster has been there for a long time. I think most of the shopping center where Dollar General was located should be knocked down, it would lose alot of business but make a better area. Marshall should be TJMaxx because they have better stuff. It would be crowded because of Wal-Mart, I know the Owings Mills Wal-Mart on Reistertown Road near Valley Centre is crowded all the time. I don't really like the Owings Mills one. If I was the examiner I would close Blockbuster's down and make it as a place called AppleBee's. I can't wait until Ruby Tuesday come to Brenbrook Plaza. Or, it can be a place called FYE (For Your Entertainment) which is a CD store. It's awesome. I heard that they would be building a convention center for seniors or whatever it was on Resource Drive by the Resource Center. I see that they are doing construction.
