In order to build more housing, all roads pass through the Planning Department. Developers have their concerns about how well the backlog in Planning might be handled, even with twenty-six new employees…

There’s no argument that the Planning Department has problems. Now it’s up to the Mayor and the Supervisors to make sure that issue is addressed properly. One of the biggest hurdles will be appointing heads of either the Building or Planning Departments without running into resistance from the progressive supervisors, or from the Mayor (if a candidate is suggested by the supervisors). We’ve already seen the back-and-forth about the acting head of DBI put through the ringer over her appointment just prior to taking maternity leave.
