Proposition K aims to pave the way for municipal social housing

from Civic · host Laura Wenus, Mel Baker

Proposition K on the November ballot represents an attempt to allow the city to create new low-rent housing units, like public housing but at the municipal level. Unlike other affordable housing being built in the city, these units would be created by the local government, not nonprofits or private developers. The city must obtain voter approval to build such housing because of an article in the California constitution. Laksh Bhasin, co-author of Proposition K, explains the details of the proposal, its scope and how it would be funded.
