๐๏ธ Another major housing project just got approved in San Francisco.
On paper, that's great news. More homes should help address the city's housing shortage.
But here's why many locals aren't celebrating just yet.
This is the third time this site has been approved since 2017, and construction still hasn't started.
The challenge isn't always getting projects approved. It's getting them built.
If more housing actually reaches the market, it could eventually improve affordability and give buyers more options. Until then, approvals alone don't change the number of homes people can buy or rent.
It's another reminder that there's often a big difference between what's planned and what's actually delivered.
Do you think San Francisco's biggest housing problem is getting projects approved or getting them built? ๐
