For the last twelve days of 2024, SF YIMBY will look back on each month and reflect on the biggest stories we covered. During July, we reported on the final approval for the Stonestown redevelopment, several large projects in Silicon Valley invoking the Builder’s Remedy, and increased plans for an eight-story apartment complex in the Outer Sunset. However, the most commented-on story of the month and the year for us was a 15-story apartment tower rising over College Avenue in Rockridge, Oakland.
