It's fun to be actively fighting Bilal Mahmood's legislation that would strip $500 million in voter-approved funds for affordable housing over the next five years, all to give a tax cut to the rich, and see that Garry Tan called Mahmood "too progressive."
The billionaire/VC class in SF are not reasonable people we can work with. They must be defeated.

Monkeybrains is now advertising the parcel it stole from community gardeners as an event space under the name “Third Thursdays on Treat.”
They don’t own this land. They are squatters who used violence, threats, and lawfare to displace neighbors who were selflessly working to make Parcel 36, or the Mission Greenway, a public space. #sfpol

Here’s a half-block stretch in the Avenues with no trees.
Legislation by Mayor Lurie and Alan Wong made it harder to remove these driveways by allowing them to remain when garages are converted to housing.
Now the Lurie-Wong legislation to let developers not plant trees and limit tree removal appeals is going to Planning Commission tomorrow.

SF YIMBY has endorsed Alan Wong, whose whole campaign is about reopening the Great Highway, after previously endorsing Stephen Sherrill who's doing everything he can to block Marina Safeway housing. They are just a mod Dem club. Housing and urbanism are their marketing pitch, not their goal. #sfpol

San Franciscans, if the primary were today, who’s your choice for Congress? #sfpol

Fun little double-header at City Hall. I commented at the SFMTA Board asking them not to approve a version of the Potrero Yard project that eliminates the possibility of 360 affordable homes, for want of $70 million. Then I asked the SFBOS not to repeal the transfer tax on high-valued real estate, which would take $100m a year out of the budget that was intended to fund affordable housing. #sfpol

At city hall to protest Denim Dan Lurie’s SF Environment budget cuts. But the mayor isn’t here because he’s announcing a tax cut for rich real estate investors. Cutting revenue that could restore his SF Environment cuts over 10x over. #sfpol

Apparently the SFBOS land use committee is voting today to make parklets worse. Public access being removed entirely. I can’t even keep up with all the terrible legislation they’re pushing through.

Shot/chaser
Billionaires like Lurie and his buddies prefer philanthropy to taxes because they decide how much to pay and how it's used. We should not believe for a second that it has anything to do with helping non-rich San Franciscans. #sfpol

Lit-dropped Noe Valley in defense of Prop I and got a solid workout 😅 This is how we're gonna win and preserve funding for social housing. #sfpol

Save Prop I and Affordable Housing Funds
On Wednesday February 25, billionaire Mayor Daniel Lurie and Supervisor Bilal Mahmood announced a tax cut for wealthy real estate investors. They propose to repeal 2020's Proposition I, which has raised hundreds of millions of dollars for rent relief and affordable housing. Although Prop I revenue has never been fully dedicated to social housing as intended, it has funded over $200 million to help San Franciscans afford housing as of 2024, including $42 million for the strongest Covid rent re…

SF politics is supposed to be a knife fight in a phone booth, but I don't see that energy from transit/safe-streets orgs that should be calling out Daniel Lurie on his carbrain. They're all trying to suck up to him for access instead. Seems like a recipe for failure. #sfpol

signed up to collect signatures for SF's overpaid CEO tax, aka Stand Up For SF. I figure I can collect for this and the transit funding measure at the same time.

Every SF YIMBY-endorsed supervisor voted for this cruelty, with SF YIMBY's silent, implicit agreement. "Legalize housing" my foot.

Five months into S.F.’s ban on RVs, 82 former RV dwellers have been housed. Others are now on the street.
Five months into S.F.'s ban on RVs, many have been matched by the city to housing. But several others are now street homeless.
