There is nothing wrong with shadows.

In reply to Damon Pastor.

Can we stop with shadow concerns?

Even if shadows are cast upon the corner of Franklin square, it won’t have any effect on whether or not that playground is usable for kids. It will be.

“Affordable” housing is a lie. All housing is affordable to someone, or the price will naturally drop until someone can afford it and agrees to pay a certain amount for that property. Prices dropped 50% during the 2008 recession. Proof of my assertion. This is subsidized parasite housing. A city of parasites is very unhealthy city, just what is the problem with San Francisco currently…

Every new building casts a shadow somewhere.

That area has warm weather, and so more shade is welcome there.

In reply to d.

You may be correct there. But perhaps the city and voters want to help the working and middle classes, rather than those who are on the very bottom rung of the economic ladder?

A project like this is not welfare or charity. It is to help provide homes for those who can significantly contribute to the city.

I wish someone would write a story about if it will cast a shadow on the park, and the legality of it, if it is true.

The yard doesn’t traverse between 16th and 17th. You’re turned around, the uphill view in pic is 17th St.

The rendering of the building would be the view from Mariposa Street and Bryant Street, not 17th Street, right? Bryant Street between 17th and 16th is more or less flat, not uphill as in the picture. Bryant Street is uphill between Mariposa and 17th.

Homeless but work and have a disability

Really?! Incomes between $30k-$172k?!!!!! LET’S GET REAL HERE! The people that NEED this housing DON’T EVEN COME CLOSE TO MAKING THE $30k mark! SF gov continues to DELIBERATELY DECEIVE residents/vistors by vomiting their BLATANT PROPAGANDA AND BS!

The headline kind of buries the lede here – while it’s pointed out that the bedroom count stays the same and the headline is technically accurate, it will inevitably lead to folks getting the wrong impression about the scale of the project.
