No more quarrels

Regarding “Tent city measure among supes’ initiatives headed for the ballot” ( June 22): Housing policy via supervisorial grandstanding is fractured and incoherent. How can one explain objections to raising height limits on affordable housing and permitting more in-law apartments alongside proposed legislation to provide water and garbage service to homeless encampments? Our deeply divided legislature seems to want to polish their credentials more than they want to actually house people. The Bay Area is in a housing crisis. We need leadership and a coherent vision which both alleviates human misery and preserves livability. Squabbling about building height limits while simultaneously enshrining tent cities on the ground makes no sense. I implore our Board of Supervisors to pull together on this issue. We can’t afford your quarreling.
