Every day nurses, social workers, street cleaning crews, police officers, and medics are out helping people in our neighborhoods. But if they can't afford to live here, we will never address the challenges we face.
We talk about a "housing crisis." But crises are unpredictable and happen suddenly. Our housing problems are entirely predictable. We under-built for decades and downzoned three-quarters of the City to ban apartments. We don’t have a housing crisis. We have a housing shortage.
We need to BUILD at least 50,000 new homes, at least 17,000 of which should be affordable.
To get there we can’t let disingenuous warnings of shadows and height stop us.
We need solutions like #SB50 that will allow more multi-family housing all over the Bay Area.
So here’s what I want our next decade to look like. I want a city where we no longer walk by a person shooting up, or suffering on our streets, and wonder, “what should I do?” When you see someone in need, you should be able to make a call and know that they'll be helped.
"Compassion” can no longer mean “anything goes.” I want this to be the decade when residents and visitors to our city can enjoy every neighborhood, every day, without fear of crime or unacceptable street behavior.
We have a beautiful city, an incredible city. I want it to be lively. I want it to be diverse. I want it to be safe. And I want this to be the decade when every San Franciscan can live with confidence that he, she, or they and their children, will be able to call this city home.
We can be a City where we come together to meet our challenges with clarity and conviction, a city where we care for one another, where our streets are safe, and no one is left in the cold. San Francisco can and will be a city for all of us.
Big Tech needs to pay their fair share of taxes to help accomplish these goals.
Undoing the disastrous apartment ban would cost $0.
We have an affordable housing shortage. We don't fix it by deregulation and building bigger and taller luxury units, which is the current industry push.
The most problematic and fragile of our population will NOT benefit from your housing plan. Like the Utility Scandal, insiders will get the units, truly challenged won't get in.
