Well, it’s public: Mayor Lurie has announced that he’s letting Uber and Lyft onto car-free Market Street along with Waymo, something he has no authority to do. The Transportation Code clearly doesn’t allow it. These companies are treating our billionaire mayor as above the law. #sfPol

SF has so many parking lots and other soft sites especially on the westside, we should be building housing there instead of demolishing rent-controlled homes. But #SB79 offers few protections & none for rent-controlled duplexes. Sign this petition to amend the bill to fix this!

SFMTA board is hearing Mayor Lurie’s mass displacement plan to banish working-poor, mostly Latino families living in RVs from the city.
Here’s the “refuge permit” designed as window dressing to make liberals feel ok about this. Notice to get one, you have to “agree to accept offer of… interim… housing,” ie agree to be displaced a little later anyway. 💩

All 5 SF YIMBY endorsed supervisors—Sauter, Engardio, Mahmood, Dorsey, and Melgar—voted to take $34 to $53 million away from building permanent affordable housing, *and* to ban RVs from all city streets.
So much for "legalize housing." With YIMBYs like this, who needs NIMBYs? #sfPol

One of the RV dwellers Lurie plans to displace is a staffer helping Joel Engardio fight his recall. #sfPol

Many RV dwellers are not there by choice. Devin Plant scrapes by tutoring SF State students in data analytics, he said, and has a job canvassing against the recall of Supervisor Joel Engardio. But it’s not enough to live on, and he’s flat broke. He said a city crackdown is the last thing he needs.

Mayor Danny Bluejeans' cruel crackdown on people experiencing homelessness in SF is... sending them instead to SFO. Displacement is not a solution. (But he's about to double down on displacement by banning RVs too) #sfpol

SF folks: please call your supervisor and ask them not to redirect permanent affordable housing funds to temporary shelter
it’s likely illegal and it’s nonsense: the shelters would free up if people could exit to permanent housing!

"On July 9th, two days after the woman was flung from the ICE SUV, [SF Mayor Daniel] Lurie posted a video to Instagram promoting a new [Labubu] store in Union Square...The timing of the announcement was panned, with nearly every comment under the post questioning Lurie over the ICE raids." #sfPol

Gentrification feedback loop. As SF displaces its working class, Area Median Income rises, raising the rent levels for “affordable” housing, which further displaces and excludes working-class households, so AMI rises again… and a 1-bedroom for $2,900 is now defined as low-income housing.

Just came from a public comment session at the Planning Commission that was pretty depressing in terms of what the YIMBY movement in SF has become, and how far it has fallen from its original ideal of housing for everyone. #sfpol #housing
SF YIMBY mobilized speaker after speaker to call for cutting $4…
