28 May 2026 10:18

San Francisco congressional candidates agree on the need for massive housing investment but differ on market-rate housing and regulation. - Chan: Subsidized housing only; keep discretionary review.

- Chakrabarti: Both market-rate and non-profit developers; revive Reconstruction Finance Corporation. - Wiener: Roll back tax cuts for $1.2 trillion social housing; ease environmental laws.

All three support federal funding for housing, but their approaches to building and regulation vary significantly.
