In this episode of the SFBT Structures Podcast multimedia producer Kevin Truong and real estate reporters Blanca Torres and Roland Li break down some of the questions you’ve always been afraid to ask about affordable housing, draw some distinctions with other programs designed to make housing cheaper and outline some of the deeper social issues which underpin the affordable housing debate. In our New Development segment we review some of the big real estate news during our extended break because of our North Bay fire coverage, including San Francisco’s biggest-ever lease, and what it could mean for biotech’s future in Mission Bay.We also detail the Bay Area’s bid for Amazon’s HQ2 megaproject and what the possible pro and cons would be for the e-commerce giant setting up shop in the region.Links:Our North Bay fire coverage: http://bit.ly/2xRiVBVSan Francisco's biggest ever lease: http://bit.ly/2g1wI2xBiotech's future in Mission Bay: http://bit.ly/2xmVp09The Bay Area bid for Amazon's HQ2: http://bit.ly/2yS4oKwACBJ's Amazon Effect collaboration: http://bit.ly/2zDdFDmMusic by: BenSound
