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!

Amend SB 79 to Protect Tenants and Communities
SB 79 puts thousands of rent-controlled homes and small businesses in San Francisco at risk by allowing demolition without strong affordability requirements or local oversight. It overrides years of community planning and opens the door to displacement in working-class neighborhoods across San Francisco. Sign the petition to demand smart, equitable amendments that protect tenants, preserve local plans, and ensure transit-oriented development works for everyone.

in good news, now that the awful center bikeway is replaced with proper separated bike lanes, business is up on Valencia Street!

One battle after another

Excellent news. Greatly reduces the risk of displacement while still upzoning the west side.

San Francisco’s Ultrarich Are Blocking a Zohran-Style Agenda
For years, democratic socialists in San Francisco have been passing Zohran Mamdani–style policies in the city legislature and through ballot measures, only to see them blocked by Silicon Valley billionaires and powerful real estate interests.

in a bad field of SF electeds, Matt Dorsey stands out as uniquely terrible. he's up for re-election next year: we should throw him out. #sfpol

In which they spring it on us that they’re canceling about 350 units of affordable housing. I’m not pleased. #potreroYard #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.

"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
