The San Francisco Board of Supervisors has overridden Mayor London Breed's veto of legislation limiting housing development in historic districts. The legislation proposed by Supervisor Aaron Peskin imposes density restrictions in affluent areas near downtown, preventing apartment buildings and affordable projects. This move has sparked a housing policy battle at City Hall, with Peskin's ordinance focusing on density limits along the city's Northern Waterfront. The decision has been criticized for obstructing new housing and worsening the city's housing crisis.

Today’s anti-housing veto override by the Board of Supervisors is a black eye for San Francisco. @AaronPeskin’s ordinance is the latest move in his decades-long effort to obstruct new housing in our city. Extreme zoning restrictions like these are one cause of our housing crisis.
I cant believe San Francisco is downzoning wealthy neighborhoods in the year 2024 with the supermajority support of a progressive board of supervisors. https://t.co/OP760DoHrg
Today’s housing veto override is a disgrace. The Board of Supervisors would rather protect scenic views of the rich on Telegraph Hill than make housing more affordable for all San Franciscans. As Supervisor I'll ensure ALL neighborhoods do their part to ease our housing crisis.
In a disappointing move, the Board of Supervisors just voted to approve Peskin’s ordinance blocking homes in his district over the Mayor’s veto. Thank you to Supervisors @mattdorsey, Melgar & @JoelEngardio for being pro-housing. We need to win every board seat this November. https://t.co/ucQemOEKsz

Disappointed but not surprised. The SF Board of Supervisors has overridden Mayor Breed's veto, meaning the downzoning of affluent areas near downtown will move forward. This will prevent apartment buildings of any kind in the areas, including 100% affordable projects.
The SF Board of Supervisors just overrode Mayor Breed’s veto of Board President Peskin’s density carveouts for selected historic districts. Members Stefani, Safai, Peskin and Mandelman put forward the argument that the legislation was nuanced enough not to threaten (cont’d)
