Every cloud has a silver lining.
We had one of those in San Frangayo too. Willie Brown, he wasn't distracted, you simply could build anything if you sent enough money his way. The Rats love to be RICH Rats. Are your developers "expensing" Street?
It doesn't appear to be the case. Well, some are. The ones who built the substandard HUD units in North Philadelphia kicked back to Street did. But most of the housing is being done by small to medium developers who are doing things within code, by the books, in a market driven manner.
