Mayor Ed Lee and Supervisor London Breed pitch 30,000‑unit affordable housing goal; Market Street project highlighted
Summary
Mayor Ed Lee and Supervisor London Breed appeared in a recorded segment promoting a citywide push to build 30,000 housing units in six years and highlighted a privately financed Market Street project that will deliver 23 below‑market units, emphasizing concurrent review and developer incentives.
A recorded SFGOV TV segment included remarks from Supervisor London Breed and Mayor Ed Lee about accelerating affordable housing development in San Francisco. Supervisor Breed said she supported the administration's goal and thanked the developer for the Market Street project. Mayor Lee described a directive to city agencies to prioritize affordable housing projects and to pursue concurrent reviews and incentives that speed approvals.
The mayor said the 30,000‑unit target will combine new construction and rehabilitation of existing units, and emphasized process changes — concurrent agency reviews, developer incentives and improved coordination — to shorten approval timelines. He highlighted a privately financed project on Market Street producing 23 below‑market units (11 two‑bedrooms and 12 one‑bedrooms) and said no city funds were used for that site.
The mayor and supervisor said they plan to work with developers and agency heads to replicate such projects and to use both public and private funding tools where appropriate. The segment closed with an invitation to questions and a pledge to continue prioritizing housing pipeline projects.
