Affordable housing programs that offer housing for sale or rent at the below market rate. Affordable housing has restrictions on eligibility for households such as maximum Household Income. Proposition d which streamlined the approval process by exempting certain Affordable Housing developments from a number of approvals by the city, if those developments comply with the planning and building code. When the city leases its property or provides financing for these housing projects, the board of supervisors approval would not be required. The proposition would streamline approval of three types of multifamily Affordable Housing. Under the measure, the city would have five to eight months to approve these developments depending on the number of units and the measure may also allow these developments to proceed without Environmental Review under state law. If proposition d passes with more votes than proposition e, proposition e would have no legal effect. If you vote yes, you want to streamline approval of Affordable Housing project thats provide multifamily housing where all units are for households with income up to one hundred 40 of area Median Income and all residential unit can be more than 120 percent of air Median Income. Additional Affordable Housing units equals to 15 of the number of affordable onsite units required. Or that all residential units are for households that include at least one San FranciscoUnified School District or city College Employee with certain Household Income restrictions. Projects that use City Property or city financing would no longer require a board of supervisors approval. The board of supervisors could amend city law to apply these streamline approvals to additional type of housing projects in certain projects contractors must provide Healthcare Benefits and offer apprenticeship opportunity. If you vote no, you do not want to make these changes. Im here with corey smith with the Housing Action coalition and a proponent of prop d, welcome. Thank you. Were also joined by joseph smook from the race and equity Planning Coalition and opponent of the coalition. Thanks for having me. Thank you both for being here. I would like to start with corey. Why do you believe this proposition is so important . Well, thank you shanna and thank you to the league for hosting this event and for sfgov tv for record and distributing. Prop d isnt going to build housing and its the Affordable House measure and it will make it faster and easier to build Affordable Housing across all of San Francisco. It does things in a few different ways. First of all, it takes the approval process which currently takes four to seven years and narrows it down to months. This increase in efficiency and approvals for code compliant project so projects that follow all of the local planning code and rules will ensure more certainty throughout the process and make sure that housing and Affordable Housing gets built faster. The other key point that we had is theres strong labor previsions that match the recently Legislature Bill 2011 and its prevailing wages for construction workers and healthcare opportunities and apprenticeship programs and it gives San Francisco a choice and how we want to approach the next decade in the feature and quite frankly the time of saying no is behind us. We have to start saying yes, we have to start saying yes to housing and yes to Affordable House and the way we do that is by passing proposition d, the Affordable Homes now measure this november. Thank you. Jeff, your thoughts. We have a number of problems with proposition d which is why im here and thank you for having us. The Planning Coalition is a coalition of nearly 40 organizations, grassroots organizations and nonprofit hausauers and cultural districts throughout San Francisco. We have a vision of building a San Francisco that is equitable and that is affordable for all. A number of the problems we have with proposition d is it says it provides more Affordable Housing but the problem is that the Affordable Housing prevision is not something that Affordable Housing needs which is why the Council Housing they are opposed to proposition d. It provides educator housing, however, the Teachers Union is opposed to proposition d because it doesnt provide teachers with what they need and on the market rate side, what it does is confers a ton of value, millions of dollars of value to developers without actually promising to build anything. A couple of problems we have that are more specific, its called Affordable Homes now but the problem is it actually redefines as part of the key component of the measure is to creating new definition for affordable at 140 of the area Median Income and that 140 area Median Income when you compare it to what market rate is, its actually higher than market rate. It also doesnt require any family sized units, so the trend in the market currently of developers to build only studios will continue. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. We have a couple of questions for both of you. And well start with you, joseph. So, proposition d aims to streamline the construction of Affordable Housing but has some caveat that may impede construction such as not requiring developers to build the housing within a certain timeframe. How do you envision or not envision that proposition d will result in the expedited construction of Affordable Housing. Thats a great question and i ran out of time in my opening remarks and the problem with proposition d, and as corey mentioned earlier, it expedites the entitlements and its deferred and they have value thats it doesnt require them to build until 36 months after the entitlements are conferred. Its part of the problem we have with the way that Affordable Homes now, proposition d has been built and it will bring more units online faster but in fact, what it does is it further xhod guys and doesnt bring the units online. Thank you. Same question, corey. Jeff is correct. All Building Permits do expire after 36 months and the reality is people who build housing for a living want to build housing. Thats always the goal for people who finance housing, who construct housing. Who design housing, the architects. So it has been a goal to try get the entitlement process and this is focusing on as well as the permitting process to go faster. We were proud to sponsor assembly 2234 which aimed to improve the post entitlement Building Permit acquisition process to ensure that cities to respond in a timely fashion. And if that happens, if the entitlement process is efficient and the Building Permit acquisition process is more efficient, thats how we get Affordable Homes now and how we get shovels into the ground ask create homes for people that the city so desperately need. Thank you. The second question and well start with you, corey. Proposition d yours a prevailing wage for construction worker s Affordable Housing project and some level of professional training or qualifications for some workers, can you clarify how workers will be protected under proposition d and how the requirements will be enforced . Yeah. Absolutely. This is actually like i said, its wonderful this matches the bill passed in the state Legislature Assembly bill 2011. Prevailing wage is basically a dollar amount that people need to make to actually construct the housing that we are going to be building. Health care opportunities and majority of construction workers in the state of california do not have health care so by requiring health care opportunities, not only to the workers you their families and we know were going to provide a stronger safety net for all residents. And then the apprenticeship programs. The big issues we have in california right now, theres a labor shortage and theres a Skilled Labor shortage so because the Northern CaliforniaCarpenters Union who is our proud partner, they said hey we need to move things far. We need to put solutions on the table and this is one of those measures that will not only benefit the construction workers but all unions across board. Same question. Your feelings about the requirement thats are in proposition d for workers . Yeah, from opposition side, proposition d doesnt go far enough. Its one of the reasons why the Building Trades council and the Labor Council are opposed to proposition d. What they require generally is that there be a requirement for skilled and trained workers and helps to close the gap between wages and housing costs. And its extremely important to Building Trades that would be building these buildings. One of the things thats curious to us is that one of the things that proposition d is pushing is for form based density for larger buildings to be built residential and that generally means towards concrete and steel and its curious to us, the Carpenters Union would be supporting proposition d even though which is not what the carpenters would be invested in well move with closing statements and any other thoughts you would like to give on proposition d, corey. Like i said, San Francisco has a great opportunity and choice in front of us if we want to move forward and value our residents like we claim we do. Proposition d is supported by supervisor dorsey, senator scott wiener and mayor london breed t. Was put on a by coalition of pro housing advocates, labor units and nonAffordable Housing developers and the Northern CaliforniaCarpenters Union is our strongest Coalition Partners as well as policy think tank like spur and Affordable HousingDevelopers LikeMission HousingDevelopment Corporation as well as habitat for humanity and habitat for humanity is an interesting one because they see a problem from a wide perspective and look across the state and how we need to be building more homes for people faster and it was put on the ballot by 52,000 San Francisco voters so read the facts and look at what these do and vote yes on proposition d. Thank you. Final thoughts. So part of the problem we have with this, again, what proposition d is streamlines primarily market rate housing by redefining affordable to 140 median. Were looking at housing that san franciscans cant afford. Bringing new lines, bringing new housing online doesnt necessarily solve the problem. San francisco during its current 8year Housing Element cycle over built market rate housing by ten thousand units. And housing prices continue to out strip wage so were concerned that what proposition d does is it doubles down on failed housing policies and what we need to do is focus our housing policies on real true Affordable Housing for San Francisco workers, families, seniors, and those who are being priced out of the city. Thank you. And thank you both for being here and for your time and your willingness to inform the public about this measure. Thank you. Thanks for having us.
