Case in point: In July, the nonprofit developer Mission Economic Development Agency announced that at long last it had reached a deal on 2205 Mission, a long-defunct property on 18th Street that will soon offer more than 60 affordable homes for local teachers.
The development comes with one interesting wrinkle: MEDA employed SB 35 to get the deal done — despite the fact that the group has historically opposed SB 35 and is currently campaigning against its renewal.
