For the last twelve days of 2024, SF YIMBY will look back on each month and reflect on the biggest stories we covered. In October, the biggest stories can be measured by floor count, with updates on three San Francisco projects that may rise 33, 65, and 72 floors respectively.

On top of that, we reported on construction starting for the hotly contested low-income apartments on Irving Street, new details for the Chinatown tower, a 40-story tower across from City Hall, and a 36-acre research campus in Mountain View proposed by NASA and UC Berkeley.
