At first glance, the redesign looks a lot like the one city planners proposed more than a year ago under Mayor London Breed, who stumped for housing from the first day of her administration.

But closer inspection reveals the new map is a blueprint for many more homes, even on blocks where the allowable height doesn’t change. To explain the difference, it helps to calculate not how high buildings can go, but how many homes can fit within those buildings.

The technical term is density decontrol. In layperson’s terms, it means that a parcel with a single-family home could host four units or more, depending on building codes, designs, and the layout of the property.

If the new map is approved — it must get through the Planning Commission and then the Board of Supervisors — it could be the biggest change to San Francisco’s built landscape in more than 50 years, reimagining the nature of many neighborhoods from the ground up.

You're a faggot.
