I didn't say SF didn't have problems.  They have a major problem with homelessness.  They have major problems with getting construction done.  But that's not the same thing as blight.  In SF, if a structure is occupiable, it is occupied.

That's not the definition of blight, you just try to limit the meaning of the word to make you right. Sine Qua Non.

Fine, define blight more broadly, that doesn't change the fact that adding affordable housing to the SF area is likely to do more good than harm, because all of the social problems they have trace back to a shortage of housing in general.

White conservatives tend to focus on the tipping point where an area becomes too affordable (but really they mean too black and brown) but the balance getting tipped the other way is just as bad.

8 out of 10 real estate appraisers may disagree.

My subdivision has a nice 8' tall solid fence between us and them.  Probably all Steph Curry is really asking for.
