Opinion: Back housing by churches and by schools
California churches, synagogues, mosques and other places of worship, as well as educational institutions of all kinds, are often surrounded by large parking lots and other open space they own, much of it oftentimes underused.
“By right” means that developers — in this case, nonprofits — can build what they want to without being limited by the many local zoning regulations and environmental reviews that cities and the NIMBYs that live there have set up in order to prevent more housing from being built.SB 4 is a great idea, with problems. But we sincerely hope that it, or some version of it, is approved in the very near term.
That’s precisely the kind of add-on that very quickly can turn what would have been affordable housing into the famous $600,000 apartments for the homeless that no longer are affordable by taxpayers building them. Robbie Hunter, president of the council, told the San Francisco Chronicle earlier this year that “the trades took a particularly aggressive approach this year in response to ‘an absolute tsunami of bills from every direction’ giving builders the right to skirt environmental reviews, votes by local officials and other processes where unions can raise concerns.”
