So there may be hope for all of us out there praying for affordable housing in San Francisco. Today's Examiner reports that it's time for The City to update its "housing element", which is a report on how to meet anticipated demand for affordable housing. The recession has hastened the city's need to reassess their tactics for fostering affordable ways to live here, and so they are turning to some creative solutions, such as:"Supporting situations where tenants share one kitchen, landlords offering renters free monthly Muni passes and employers advocating or even putting money up for housing projects are among the fresh strategies being considered."
I already share a kitchen, but I'd be down for a free MUNI pass any time! If you want to chime in on the report, the Planning Commission is holding a hearing on Thursday.
