Hold onto your avocado toast, Bay Area housing hunters! State Senator Scott Wiener is back with another bold housing density bill that’s about to shake up the urban landscape. 🏙️

Transit-Powered Housing Revolution

After previous failed attempts to transform zoning restrictions, Wiener’s newest brainchild, SB-79, is targeting transit hubs with a radical upzoning strategy. The plan? Allow seven-story apartment buildings near California’s “highest quality transit” stops - but not your local Muni line.

The BART and CalTrain Transformation

This time, Wiener’s focusing on major transit systems like BART and CalTrain. His pitch? More housing, better transit, and a solution to our perpetual housing crisis. But let’s be real - suburban NIMBYs are probably already drafting their protest signs.

The Housing Density Dilemma

While Wiener argues this will boost public transportation revenue and ridership, critics worry about potential displacement and skyrocketing housing prices. Sound familiar? It’s like the “Monster in the Mission” déjà vu all over again.

Why This Matters

Despite years of housing production momentum, we’re still not seeing enough units. Construction costs, interest rates, and bureaucratic hurdles continue to play hard-to-get with affordable housing development.\n\nStay tuned, housing heroes - Scott Wiener isn’t giving up, and neither should we! 🏠✊
