I hope you right.

Here is what i've heard.
-no touching of neighborhood plans (if this is true, its done)
-allowing STR in all urban-core neighborhoods (already allowed in most, except deed restirictions- which most people do not want to fight), if this is true it won't yield much.
-no increase in far or impervious (if this is true, then we I don't see any changes, just more undersized corridors, stumpy skyscrapers, and SF+ADU lots)
-get rid of the attic exemption. (not sure how this helps or hurts)
- possible reduction in setbacks (again with the deed restrictions?)
- not allowing additional height on major corridors or 2-3 streets off of corridors


Without major changes to the tree ordinance (i'm a tree lover but we need more homes, and we can mitigate the loss of existing trees with new trees...so..) it will always be difficult to squeeze more housing in.

Interested to see if Tovo or the Mayor win in their little amendment battle.

I originally thought this might be smart of the council, this way they get to blame Cronk for all the progressive changes. But now, I think they will still blame Cronk...but to the urbanists, instead of the NIMBY's.
