Editor,
The Oct. 18 article regarding South San Francisco’s Measure AA didn’t delve deeply enough into the cost. The city’s independent analysis showed even to build 150 units would cost at least $45 million to $85 million with no identifiable funding source, and would require a new city department to handle the oversight of public housing. Democratic Socialist Councilmember Coleman pulls numbers out of thin air, but they don’t add up. South San Franciscans should Vote no on Measure AA.

An important bit of context: Measure AA does NOT compel the City of SSF to build any public housing, it merely allows it if a funding source is identified. If it were a requirement, the letter writer's concerns would be warranted. But, if passed, AA gives the City flexibility to help our community's most vulnerable. I'm voting yes.
