Part of the Housing Element 2014 Update, San Francisco Planning has released a new video titled “Housing: Where We Are, and Where We’re Going.”

This six-minute video covers topics such as housing construction, job and population growth and how it’s affecting the Bay Area, market rate vs. below market rate housing, and what the City is doing to build more housing for all San Franciscans.

The Housing Element is a required component of the City’s General Plan that provides the policy background for housing programs and to provide direction toward meeting the City’s housing goals. The proposed 2014 Housing Element includes new Data Analysis reporting on housing trends since the last Housing Element period (2009-2014) and updates to the existing objectives, policies and implementation measures.

As both local and national conversations about the current housing market continue, we hope this video provides useful information and perspective on this very complicated - and popular - topic.
