TIL San Francisco’s District 6, one of eleven districts - comprising Mission Bay, SoMa and Treasure Island - has built 60% of the new housing in San Francisco. #BuildHousing @SonjaTrauss

TIL @SonjaTrauss was previously a high school math teacher (biased but I have many fond recollections of people in the math teacher profession)

Ideas on ways to be heard if you support building housing: - join neighborhood associations and support/talk about building new housing - go to planning commission meetings and support new projects - write a note to the SF mayor (lower barriers here than you might imagine)

Housing policy is unusual in that people don’t tend to aggregate along bright lines: many people are pro-housing in general but might have mixed feelings about specific projects. That’s okay (we still need to build housing and it makes a difference to support)
