Last week, The San Francisco Business Times reported that a feasibility study, completed in conjunction with the Controller’s office, suggests that Prop C could hurt the housing stock by discouraging new residential developments–thereby decreasing the overall amount of available housing.

The The San Francisco Chronicle reported that a final submission of the feasibility study will be submitted by the Controller’s Office to the Board of Supervisors in September. Supervisors Jane Kim, Aaron Peskin originally supported the measure.
