UPDATE: As for sale condos, the income threshold for the below market rate units will be between 80 and 100 percent of the AMI, not 50 percent as originally reported (which would be the maximum if the development went the rental route). If you think 300/400 foot tower (350/450 including machinery) wont cast a shadow on the Embarcadero and affect the look of the waterfront then I might as well be talking to a dining room table.
