I looked it up to compare, and San Diego in 2024 permitted the same number of units as the entire bay area did. San Francisco, San Jose, and Oakland need to step it up!
I do wonder if Houston-style city subsidized restrictive covenants ends up being the solution that makes everyone happy here. 6 stories by-right everywhere, but a group of up to 500 contiguous homeowners can opt for stricter controls. Harm reduction for NIMBYs -> the Spencer Pratts of the world can block development in their limited neighborhoods, while other homeowners reap the gains of upzoning.
