S.F. Mayor's Quote of the Day

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom had a good line about affordable housing today. "Shelters solve sleep, housing solves homelessness," he said at the opening of 149 Mason Street, a 56-unit project for formerly homeless individuals.

I'm not sure if Newsom is the first to deliver that line, but he said it with conviction.

149 Mason is located on the edge of San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood, right near Union Square.

Developed by Glide Economic Development Corp. and Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corp., the project will be loaded with supportive services. Glide Health Services will launch its first satellite clinic to provide onsite medical services for residents.
