I have a friend in San Francisco who – quite literally – won the lottery; the housing lottery.
Back in the mid-’90s, it was a matter of law that a certain percentage of new housing had to be set aside for people of lower-tier income. As a librarian, she qualified; and she was one of the lucky few that won the drawing for her then-new building.
Her suite is beautiful and split-level, and she certainly isn’t walking in the back door. I don’t know the specifics of the law, then or now, but she’s set for life in a fantastically affordable situation.
Sometimes, despite the fact that it seems too good to be true, it actually can be; in her case, it couldn’t have happened to a nicer person.

I mean, not everything there is an utter eyesore; seems about average for a modern architecture firm. Runs the gamut from a couple weird tweaks to full-on kooky-dooks. I didn’t actually see the one generic_name posted, which was particularly bad. Guess they know it’s not a looker.

Or… why not put the floating part on the bottom? Then the whole building is floating off the ground and Mr, Hamburger wouldn’t have to sink pylons into the bedrock at all?

Looks like they should build something like this.
Where are you finding that number? That’s significantly less than the official numbers I’m finding.

It was a quick search the other morning and was a one of the one box options. It looks like it was a mis-cited smart asset article, probably using older ACS data. The current number should be 72K. https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/sanfranciscocitycalifornia It is now above the HUD very low income cutoff, but still below the low income cutoff.
