External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on San Francisco housing shortage. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

NN-PoV

In November 2015, San Francisco voters rejected two ballot propositions aimed at addressing the crisis. The first, Proposition F, would have enacted a number of restrictions on Airbnb rentals within the city. The second, Proposition I or the "Mission Moratorium", would have blocked all housing development in San Francisco's Mission District for 18 months, except for developments in which every apartment was subsidized at a below-market rate.

The logic in that sentence is beyond twisted. And there's a source to back it up, even! The moratorium was not a "ballot proposition aimed at addressing the crisis"; one cannot address a housing crisis by banning new construction. The cited source is incredibly not neutral in it's stance: opponents to the moratorium argued that voting it down was the better option for the housing crisis: the argument was that you address a housing crisis by adding new construction, and a moratorium is exactly opposite of what needed to be done. (That is, both sides thought their position beneficial to the housing crisis.)

@Deathanatos Thanks for pointing this out!! I agree, the statement should be re-written in my opinion. The source does mention the opinion of economists, which could be used to balance this. Maybe a statement like: "Supporters claimed that Prop would help reduce the crisis, while economists stated:X"...or more sources and more balanced statement....

If you'd like to rewrite, please go ahead....if not, I'll try to rewrite that in the next couple of days....

FYI, no one needs permission to change articles, so anytime you find problems like this, you are welcome and encouraged to change them. (Unless you don't want to...) :-) WP:Be_bold

Also, the last section, Added by user Jam019 clearly has problems.....it appears that that person is a student in a class where improving a wiki article was an assignment....

2000 not SF's first housing shortage

San Francisco had a severe housing shortage during and after World War II. This article leans to the present. It ought to have some background history. It verges on a POV screed. Chisme (talk) 19:42, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Zoning Section

I'm switching the sentence

> When explicit racial discrimination was prohibited with the 1968 Fair Housing Act white neighborhoods began instituting zoning regulations that heavily prioritized single-family housing and prohibited construction of the kinds of housing that poor minorities could afford

To citation needed. Of the current citations the first one (https://newrepublic.com/article/154028/racist-origins-san-franciscos-housing-crisis) doesn't contain the term Fair Housing Act in it. The second one links to a Twitter thread with this article https://x.com/housing_wiki/status/999443198379356160/photo/1 that also doesn't mention the Fair Housing Act.
