Beyond Chron has an article this week about the Surplus Property Ordinance.

“…three years after the Board of Supervisors enacted a Surplus Property Ordinance requiring the city to set aside vacant or underutilized land for the development of affordable housing for homeless and low-income people, not a single property has been actively perused. Moreover, a site that has real development potential might be instead used as a shelter or turned into a landmark. “

“While [The Mayor's Office of Housing] deemed most of the 15 sites too small, isolated, or inaccessible for development, one property, located at 150 Otis Street might be usable under the ordinance. Previously the Juvenile Court and Detention Home, until 1949, and then a homeless shelter for the Department of Human Services, it currently is being used to house possessions of homeless residents. “
