## San Francisco's skyline
Few things stir San Francisco like its skyline. People care how the city looks and feels from boats, hills, or windows.
## New height limits
San Francisco passed Family Zoning to allow taller buildings in areas well-served by jobs, transit, retail, parks, and community centers.
## Limited development
The city estimates less than 10% of 740,000 housing units Family Zoning enables will be built within decades.
## Key takeaway

San Francisco's Family Zoning plan allows up to 740,000 new housing units but expects less than 10% will be built within decades.
