San Francisco will vote on a $600 million affordable housing bond in November. Sam Moss, executive director of the Mission Housing Development Corporation, explains what’s happened with previous housing bonds and how this mammoth bond will fund housing in a city that’s seeing a crisis in the supply of affordable housing.

“I think that it’s sad that people think that just because it’s affordable, it should be cheaply built.” — Sam Moss, executive director of the Mission Housing Development Corporation
