What it took to finally build housing on some of the nation’s most in-demand land
SAN FRANCISCO - In one of the nation's most extraordinaril y housing-constrained cities, where demand keeps pushing rents and sales prices to dizzyingly higher levels, people are finally moving into new apartments and condominiums on a 576-acre patch of land the U.S. Navy abandoned nearly 30 years ago. These two small islands just off the coast of the city, Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island, represent a rare opportunity for San Francisco to add a significant amount of housing. But years of lawsuits, public opposition and competing idealistic values underscore why it's difficult to build in the city in the first place.
