OPINION: We need to be open to 21st-century creative solutions that adapt to new realities and solve the actual housing problems families face in San Francisco.
Think of Paris — a city famous for being beautiful and livable with its sidewalk cafes and tree-lined streets. We can bring the spirit of Paris to San Francisco, thanks to my colleagues on the Board of Supervisors unanimously passing our city’s housing element to create 82,000 residential units by 2030.
I don’t propose turning San Francisco into Paris. We will remain uniquely San Francisco. But the survival of our city — and our environment — depends on embracing the six-story apartment building. It’s ideal for San Francisco’s westside neighborhoods. Dom-i-city would fit on the footprint of one, two or three standard lots. On a single standard lot, it puts five stories of townhouse housing above a ground floor with off-street parking, community space or retail.
Imagine several Dom-i-city structures within a few blocks of each other. One can include a grocery on the ground floor that serves the entire neighborhood or even a senior center. Another might provide space for child daycare. Others could anchor bakeries or cafés. Dom-i-city doesn’t propose replacing all single-family homes. Westside areas like the Sunset will always be a majority of single-family homes. But Dom-i-city offers options that currently do not exist. If only 5% of Sunset homes were converted to Dom-i-city, it would create 6,000 new homes — much-needed housing for both middle-income families and seniors who want to age in place in the neighborhoods they love.
