We welcomed the Warriors home. We watched the Giants win it all. Then do it again. And then once more. Our Congresswoman gave up her gavel and won it back—and we became the capitol of the Resistance.

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.

Fixed it: "We need solutions like
#SB50 that will allow more LUXURY multi-family housing all over the Bay Area" -
Exactly! So the existing housing isn’t converted to luxury like as been happening in my nabe. Homes on my block in N Oakland are now going for well over $1 mil despite (actually because) there have been no new homes built in over half a century.

BUILD more in SF? Where exactly... it doesn't seem to be a shortage of housing, but affordability. There are plenty of homes and apartments to live in but not with any price that's remotely affordable.

"BUILD more in SF? Where exactly" What if we built dwelling units stacked on top of each other? Perhaps even 5 stories high?
