A San Francisco affordable housing project for 145 homeless residents was 30% faster to build and 25% cheaper than similar projects in the city because of streamlined financing and approval processes per new @TernerHousing research https://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/833-Bryant-February-2021.pdf
This San Francisco analysis dovetails with our findings last year that pointed to bureaucratic financing complexity and lengthy local approval processes as key reasons why low-income housing in California costs the most to build of anywhere in the country https://www.latimes.com/homeless-housing/story/2020-04-09/california-low-income-housing-expensive-apartment-coronavirus
Affordable housing can cost $1 million in California. Coronavirus could make it worse

It costs more to build low-income housing in California than anywhere else in the U.S., and the coronavirus pandemic is likely to make matters worse.

Good examples in the Terner report of why comparable affordable housing projects in San Francisco were more expensive to build. In one case, you got larger units and a commercial training kitchen. In another case, you got fewer units and a community garden https://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/833-Bryant-February-2021.pdf
