This week the California governor's office issued a report
on San Francisco's lagging pace to meet its state mandated
housing production goals. The "San Francisco Housing Policy
and Practice Review" found, among other things, that it takes
an average of 523 days for the city to grant entitlements to a
housing developer to building a project. The second slowest average
in the state is 385 days. After the entitlement process, a
developer still has to wait an average of 605 days for the city to
issue a building permit. The second slowest average in the state is
418 days.
San Francisco is way behind pace to meet is goal under the
state's Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) to build
82,069 housing units by 2031. That's 10,259 housing units
including 5,825 affordable units, each year. The governor's
report states that San Francisco will not meet its RHNA goal.
