Housing, public transit, small businesses…this is the infrastructure that makes a city thrive when it’s affordable. A progressive San Francisco is one that is planning for and investing in affordable neighborhoods. 

Affordable neighborhoods aren’t just about housing, though. Community plans that built out the eastern neighborhoods all recognized that equitable development meant infrastructure that anticipated the needs of growing families and service workforce. Community planning helped identify the direct nexus between the increase in private development and the impact fees necessary to fund everything from libraries, transit and parks to neighborhood health clinics and childcare centers.
