In a recent government meeting, a proposed housing project received approval despite some dissent among commissioners. The project, which features compact floor plans with bedrooms under 160 square feet and a 45-square-foot bathroom, aims to maximize space on a narrow lot while respecting existing infrastructure.

Commissioner Moore praised the design as sensible and efficient, particularly in light of the dense housing situation in the Mission district. He acknowledged the efforts made by the project’s developer, Mr. Morris, to address community concerns.

After deliberations, the motion to approve the project was put to a vote, resulting in a 5-2 decision in favor. Commissioners Williams and Imperial were the only dissenters, highlighting ongoing debates about housing density and development in the city. The approval marks a step forward in addressing housing needs, reflecting a commitment to increasing residential options in urban areas.
