Yesterday we featured the big and the bold (and perhaps the badass). Today, we head in a different direction sparked by some great comments, questions, and experiences (both first and second hand) regarding programs offered through San Francisco’s Mayor’s Office of Housing. Feel free to jump on an existing thread, or start anew right here.
And for the record, while we’re on board with the stated goals of San Francisco’s BMR program, we find the execution inefficient and prone to gamesmanship (from all parties involved). But there’s more to the Mayor’s Office of Housing than just the BMR program. And as a “plugged-in” reader writes, “I think the biggest issue is just finding out about these programs while you qualify.” Consider yourself “plugged-in.”

The BMR program is hinky.
