Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration is launching an unprecedented investigation into San Francisco’s housing policies, hoping to get to the bottom of why it takes longer there than anywhere else in the state to approve desperately needed homes.

The investigation, announced Tuesday, is aimed at making it quicker and easier to build housing in the city as the state continues to look for ways to mitigate the shortage of affordable housing.
