We’re out in force this morning to admire some of the most beautiful multifamily architecture in the city with @SFyimby
Just saw Mayor @LondonBreed biking on Slow Page into Golden Gate Park. No police SUV in sight. She seemed to really be enjoying herself.
It doesn’t take a committee to determine that a deadly intersection is dangerous and should be fixed immediately.

Simply, we can't rely on PG&E to solve the problem. The state needs to step in. thefrisc.com/pge-controls-s…
Dense, infill housing is a climate issue. Some environmental organizations get this. However, other orgs don’t & have a big blind spot — viewing it as someone else’s problem to solve or, with some orgs, showing outright hostility to pro-housing policies. This has to change.
2024 Jane Kim: we should build market-rate housing in high income neighborhoods. 2018 Jane Kim: showing up to high income neighborhoods to oppose a statewide bill that would upzone areas around transit, including high income areas.

Partly why there are so many empty commercial spaces on Mission St and why Calle 24 is accused of being a protection racket masquerading as a cultural preservation org. A city can't function where dubious ring-kissing is opaquely layered onto a dysfunctional nest of laws.

It shouldn’t take 10 years to build housing on city properties (regardless of whether you want the project to be 100% affordable or not). People need housing today, not ten years from now.

Tonight I had the honor of swearing in the new leadership of the San Francisco Democratic Party. Congratulations to all of the newly elected members of the Democratic County Central Committee! Here’s to the hard work ahead to save our democracy & advance our party’s values.
Join us @cayimby @UnitedWayBay @HACdotorg @SPUR_Urbanist @GrowSF @HabitatGSF @BayAreaCouncil in supporting a comprehensive rezoning plan that embraces smart urbanism and prioritizes equitable housing solutions for all income levels: actionnetwork.org/letters/expand…
This is concise and to the point. If the rules are *predictable* business can help fill the need. If they are Calvin Ball then business will go elsewhere.

San Francisco developed a plan to add 36k homes by promising to lift bans on taller, denser housing across the city. When volunteers at @SFyimby took a closer look, they discovered that the feasibility of these new homes being built wasn't great... sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo…
Earlier today I had the opportunity to show up to the ABAG meeting to support putting the BAHFA bond (big 9-county regional housing bond) on the ballot in November! I spoke on behalf of @SFyimby and @growtherichmond and I urged ABAG to get this damn thing on the ballot ASAP!
If our supes care to listen, they'll see that SF voters do care about building more homes and want more upzoning. Send in your letter today: actionnetwork.org/letters/expand…

Just saw Mayor @LondonBreed biking on Slow Page into Golden Gate Park. No police SUV in sight. She seemed to really be enjoying herself.
It doesn’t take a committee to determine that a deadly intersection is dangerous and should be fixed immediately.
There is an update from Supervisor Myrna Melgar on the SFMTA's proposed safety improvements near West Portal station. First, a committee was formed called the Welcoming West Portal Committee that will consist of merchants, neighbors and community members. 🧵
@SonjaTrauss @SFyimby @Scott_Wiener @yimbyaction @Yimby_Law @NeverSassyLaura @anniefryman @coreysmith_17 I also didn't fully understand the important of SF Supervisor races and how much impact the @sfbos had until I met, befriended, and ultimately volunteered extensively for my friend, neighbor, and mentor @MarjanPhilhour I'm proud to support her and call her a friend💙
@SonjaTrauss @SFyimby @Scott_Wiener @yimbyaction @Yimby_Law I didn't get fully involved in SF politics until 2016, and the catalyst for me getting involved was befriending a lot of smart, thoughtful and passionate pro-housing people like @NeverSassyLaura, @SonjaTrauss, @anniefryman, @coreysmith_17, and many others in @SFyimby
@SonjaTrauss @SFyimby @Scott_Wiener While I love the current brand and design of @yimbyaction and @Yimby_Law I also loved the original design aesthetic that we used in those early years. We endorsed *everything* back then…🤪 nowadays we’re much more focused on the core issues in the @yimbyaction platform only
@SonjaTrauss @SFyimby Supporting @Scott_Wiener remains one of the most impactful things we’ve done to this day to change the trajectory of housing politics in the entire state of California Obviously we’ve done a lot since then, but that 2016 election was formative and monumental for so many of us
@SonjaTrauss These were smaller handbill pieces for the November 2016 elections from @SFyimby which was just getting started and getting our sea legs in getting organized electorally.
This piece is from SFBARF (I didn’t make the name 🤷🏽♂️) the precursor org that @SonjaTrauss started with a bunch of activists who were pissed off about the cost of housing and the lackluster effort from SF’s government They were the S.F. Bay Area Renters Federation
Was helping @wafoli with packing up elements of the @yimbyaction / @Yimby_Law offices and helping them to de-clutter and I came across some nostalgic pieces of political mail from the “old days” as I was first getting involved in @SFyimby 🤪

Simply, we can't rely on PG&E to solve the problem. The state needs to step in. thefrisc.com/pge-controls-s…
Dense, infill housing is a climate issue. Some environmental organizations get this. However, other orgs don’t & have a big blind spot — viewing it as someone else’s problem to solve or, with some orgs, showing outright hostility to pro-housing policies. This has to change.
2024 Jane Kim: we should build market-rate housing in high income neighborhoods. 2018 Jane Kim: showing up to high income neighborhoods to oppose a statewide bill that would upzone areas around transit, including high income areas.
@ArmandDoma @lihanlihan Hi Armand! There are # of studies on how new housing devl raises perceived or real value of land around it, called the halo effect. An alternative to lessen gentrification is to build in high income neighborhoods like where you live. Capital City by Sam Stein is a great read!
Partly why there are so many empty commercial spaces on Mission St and why Calle 24 is accused of being a protection racket masquerading as a cultural preservation org. A city can't function where dubious ring-kissing is opaquely layered onto a dysfunctional nest of laws.
"If SF listens to small business owners and empowers us to reinvent the city from the bottom up, we can achieve this transformation together.” Naz Khorram, small business advocate Opinion I @sfstandard sfstandard.com/opinion/2024/0…
It shouldn’t take 10 years to build housing on city properties (regardless of whether you want the project to be 100% affordable or not). People need housing today, not ten years from now.
Just imagine the horrors we were saved from thanks to this "decade of community advocacy": a 298 unit aging apartment building that would now be offering deep discounts to compete with other new housing downtown/waterfront; millions of dollars of foregone revenue over the years;
Thank you @nazkhorram for this wonderful op-Ed! sfstandard.com/opinion/2024/0…
