Housing 

Concession 

Initiative

​

The Housing

Concessions

aim

to make housing 

more affordable 

along our widest Boulevards, 

Avenues

and Streets. 

​

This is my plan

to quickly

address 

the need for

affordable

housing 

in

San Francisco. 

 

If you want it, 

please

vote for me:

 

Jon Soderstrom,

number 12 

on

your your ballot;

Just

make sure

I’m

one 

of your first

three choices,

If you

have to vote

for 

someone else

first. 

 

My plan

aims 

to create

new housing 

that is inclusive, 

with uniform layouts 

and standards, 

and centered on people,

and adaptable

for everybody.

 

Meeting

Different 

Housing Needs:

 

The initiative 

understands that 

people have different 

housing needs. 

 

It plans to improve 

the areas 

with buildings 

that have both homes 

and businesses 

for different 

types of people.

​

It proposes 

mixed-income 

housing

with 

the same layout 

for everyone.

 

Unit Types 

and Features:

 

The buildings 

will have 

low-income 

apartments 

on the first two floors 

and mixed-income 

apartments above. 

 

All apartments 

will have the same 

design, layout 

and features.

 

Consistent Design:

 

The initiative 

ensures all units have 

the same floor plan, 

and the same 

high-quality design.

 

Location Benefits:

 

Located on land 

where the buildings 

will be close to wide streets 

and public transportation.

 

Funding:

 

Funding will come from 

both public and private 

sources to help pay for 

these housing projects.

 

They use 

what is called 

a Commission. 

 

Here’s what that is:

 

Commissions are contracts 

where companies agree 

to do something because 

the government pays them 

for it. 

 

Usually, 

they only get paid 

for part 

of what they make, 

so they have to make 

some profit from the rest.

 

That’s why Paris 

looks the way it does today

—with tons of apartments 

that are still pretty swank 

to live in, 

even 170 years later.

 

Uniform standards

are

why. 

 

They make sure

all people 

get to live somewhere

nice;

sometimes fancier than others,

but the basics 

are still pretty dope, 

because, hey, 

you live in the City, 

right?

 

Aesthetic Design:

 

The design will focus 

on natural light, 

green spaces, 

and attractive streets.

 

Affordability and Practicality:

 

By placing low-income units 

for easiest access

and affordability,

and

offering 

ready-to-customize

shells 

for other units, 

the initiative

ensures 

both affordability 

and practicality.

 

Conclusion:

 

The Housing Concession Initiative 

offers a

comprehensive

approach 

to housing

affordability, 

focusing on inclusivity, 

sustainability, 

and community

well-being.
