Nate Houghteling: 作为纪录片导演，我亲眼目睹了在旧金山日落区建造经济适用房的重重困难。最初，这里几乎没有经济适用房项目，每一个新项目都面临着社区的强烈反对。我深入了解了社区团体的顾虑，发现他们的问题多种多样，并非单一因素所致。虽然现在情况有所改善，但挑战依然存在。我希望通过这部纪录片，能够促进各方之间的对话，找到解决住房危机的共同点。 Annie Fryman: 作为SPUR的特别项目主管和日落区居民，我深刻理解该地区住房问题的复杂性。日落区在历史上曾是沙丘，后在二战后发展起来，但1970年代的分区限制导致住房密度降低。在SB-35法案出台之前，旧金山市在批准项目时不必遵守自己的规则，导致开发商面临极大的不确定性。即使项目符合规定，邻居也可以通过自由裁量审查等手段阻止项目的进行。我认为，我们需要改革现有的审批流程，简化程序，减少政治干预，才能真正解决住房危机。

Chapters
This chapter explores the history of San Francisco's housing crisis, focusing on the Sunset District's unique development patterns and zoning regulations. It explains how historical zoning decisions and post-war building practices have contributed to the current scarcity of housing.
  • The Sunset District's development history is linked to post-World War II trends and zoning restrictions.
  • The 1970s downzoning significantly limited building heights in the Sunset.
  • The existence of non-conforming apartment buildings highlights the complex history of housing development in the area.

Shownotes Transcript

Scratch at a problem for San Francisco, and you’ll find an issue that underlies almost all of them: the city’s intractable housing crisis. A new documentary “Fault Lines,” on Apple TV follows three storylines connected to the lack of housing. There is a homeless family’s attempts to get into a permanent home, a Sunset neighborhood’s fight over an affordable housing project and the ugly competing campaigns for a ballot measure. We talk with the film’s director and an expert in the city’s housing troubles about how San Francisco got into the crisis, what we might be able do about it, and what the rest of the country can learn from our troubles.

Guests:

Nate Houghteling, executive producer, "Fault Lines" documentary, available on Apple TV. Co-founder of Portal A production company

Annie Fryman, director of special projects, SPUR
