Impact analysis
Measure G has generated about $11.4 million so far, with a third set aside for parks and open space and a larger share beyond the $12 million cap.
Future affordable housing residents and park users if open space keeps pace with growth.
Existing residents could face more crowded parks and open space if housing growth outpaces recreation investment.
