Brutal housing costs and empty office buildings are pushing San Francisco and other cities to try and turn them into homes.

“I’m very concerned about the future of downtown San Francisco,” said Assembly member Matt Haney , who has introduced a bill in the state legislature aimed at making it easier to convert office buildings into residential structures.

“Because the economy tanked, we were actually contemplating lowering [the percentage requirement for affordable units],” CCHO’s executive director John Avalos said. “Our mayor and my office are 100 percent on board that housing conversion is part of this,” said Kate Sofis, executive director of San Francisco’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development.The city is working with a global architecture firm called Gensler that has conducted a study of downtown San Francisco, focusing on 36 various buildings types and identifying 12 as likely candidates for conversion.
