Fun fact: when London Breed, the mayor of SF wanted to build homeless units that are modular units made in Mare Island(in nearby Vallejo), the unions did not approve.

It was decided that a factory building modular homes will be built instead to maintain construction jobs locally. They still haven’t found a site to create this factory. Almost 4 years now and the homeless population has grown in SF and has spilled into neighboring Bay Area cities.

It’s easy to make scapegoats out of the productive tax paying, home owning, working class by branding them NIMBYs. Perhaps NIMBYism is the needed inoculation against chronic homelessness that is getting worse under inefficient state and regional governments.
