San Francisco Examiner–
San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to oppose state Senator Scott Wiener’s controversial housing bill that would change zoning regulations for all cities across the state to allow higher, denser buildings near public transit.
The board voted 8-3 Tuesday to support a resolution introduced by Supervisors Aaron Peskin that officially opposed Wiener’s Senate Bill 827. The vote comes a week after the Los Angeles City Council also voted unanimously to oppose the bill.
Peskin and other board members said the measure goes too far in taking away local control over development, confers huge values on properties by allowing increased heights without requiring more public benefits and puts existing tenants jeopardy of displacement.
