Call for Economic Impact Report on SF Zoning and Land-Use Regulations

Here's a list of what the initial call is asking to measure:

· Residential housing costs

· Commercial and office space costs

· Economic mobility

· Economic productivity

· Income inequality

· Jobs creation, or loss

· Gross Domestic Product

· And, any other area the Chief Economist deems necessary and important

Off the top of my head, other/more specific issues include: - Transit efficiency (density to support public transit investments) - Energy efficiency (the reduction of natural gas and electrical transmission loss due to shorter distances travelled) - social liveability (this one is hard to nail down, but something like the number of potential pedestrians on the street that would foster lively outdoor streets, engagement with commercial street front).
