Ok for 10% below market projects to continue construction. What a crock. Those developers receive incentives for that 10%. Those projects have many workers in close quarters. Those projects should be suspended the same as other residential construction.

Amen Whatever.
Either we are all in this together, or we are not!
and it is not a simple as 6ft spacing while at work. It goes like this, each worker drives from somewhere else, buys gas, etc. spreading or being spread to. With enough people doing this we have certain outcomes such as auto breakdowns, flat tires, accidents = each with the necessity to interact with another person which may or may not have it or get it from you, then you need a tow truck (now the driver is infected), a Lyft/uber ride home (not the person is infected who then infects 10 plus or more people in that car for the day before taking it home to their families, it just goes on and on until everyone has it ---- GET IT NOW!!!!
Same thing for driving to the park/beach, etc.
But the beach was empty they say to justify their entitlement:
So drunk driving is fine if the roads are busy?

Great that it may be slowing, but the social distancing must continue until some time *after* the "slowing" becomes "0 net new cases"

Curious as to who/whom approves the exemption, board of sups, city councils? Developers are big campaign donors. Politics should be kept out of these decisions. Maybe something for grand jury to look into. But these construction exemptions need to end now (except for critical work relating to health, safety, etc).
