San Francisco's Board of Supervisors on Tuesday overrode a veto by Mayor London Breed involving a measure that will restrict building in some historic neighborhoods. The measure will modify density limits in the Northeast Waterfront Historic District and the Jackson Square Historic District. Supervisor Aaron Peskin said the measure will protect the small districts on the Bay from supersized massive luxury towers.
Mayor Breed called the vote to override her veto a setback in the push to build more housing. Breed said in a statement, "Our current housing shortage is the result of decades of bad policy decisions and inaction. And it will take years of consistent and relentless work to make the necessary change to get more housing built. That's the work ahead of us." The mayor said she wants San Francisco to be a city of "yes on housing.
