If true, I think this is very bad news. The number should have been a lot higher than this. This (even if it's all built, which it won't be) is unlikely to be enough to improve the crisis-level housing shortage in the Bay Area.
Word on the street is the Bay Area's new Regional Housing Needs Determination is 441,176 units, which is 2.35 times higher than the 2015–23 RHND of 187,990.
Thank you, @Scott_Wiener, for authoring #SB828, which made State housing need calculation methods more logical and fair.

If we were serious about housing, I'd guess that the Bay Area's RHNA target should probably be around 1.5M, although I'd have been happy with anything over 1M.
