SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO — In an effort to build more affordable housing, council members are hoping to put a measure on the November ballot that would allow the city to build, own and operate social housing, without the need for developers.

For decades developers and investors have been the engine for housing production in the Bay Area and the country, but South San Francisco council members unanimously agreed residents should decide whether the city could be more like Singapore and Vienna, cities with attractive and stable mixed-income public housing.
