Flatten San Francisco

level, livable city for everyone

[Flatten San Francisco @FlattenSF]

Neither @JackieFielder_ nor @Scott_Wiener are talking about a SERIOUS plan to flatten the geography of SF.

Our plan ELIMINATES height discrepancies of over 10 meters AND creates jobs. #winwin #paysforitself #flattenSF

San Francisco is one of the wealthiest and most innovative cities in the world, and we turn a blind eye to our crumbling education system.

We cannot blame Republicans for this failure. There are none in elected local office.

@caitlinbolnick1 It needs to be FLATTER

[Flatten San Francisco @FlattenSF]

Powerful message

[DEI speedwagon (all eyes on Cuba) 🌹🇵🇸 〽️ @uhshanti]

it shouldn’t be controversial or dunkable to point out that the lifestyles of the wealthy can offset carbon benefits from urban density, and nobody pointing that out is de facto saying that suburban sprawl is good. begging you for the love of god to grow up

Imagine being Dean Preston and saying “actions matter more than words” with a straight face

Imagine thinking rent control will help make housing more affordable

[Flatten San Francisco @FlattenSF]

Groups like @GrowSF make it seem like they’re helping.

But under the surface, it’s hill-toppers pushing job creation and more housing.

This is not what working people in SF really need.

We commit ourselves to literally leveling the playing field.

We all know hills drive inequality.

But they also limit perspective. If you live at the top of PacHeights, you have no idea what’s happening down the hill from you.

This causes a vicious feedback loop, and needs to change. Now.

Woke up this morning to a generous donation from @rabois, which BY ITSELF gets us half the way to funding our ballot initiative.

So grateful for his philanthropic drive to make SF a more equitable place 🙏🙏🙏

[Flatten San Francisco @FlattenSF]

📣 What do we want?

🗣 A FLATTER, MORE EQUITABLE CITY

📣 When do we want it?

🗣 AFTER A BALLOT RESOLUTION PROCESS THAT INCORPORATES DIVERSE FEEDBACK FROM LOW-ELEVATION COMMUNITIES

[Flatten San Francisco @FlattenSF]

@RevClown Thanks for your courage in saying this. The city has very right to shake down ANYONE (including “hospitals”) trying to build in SF

[Flatten San Francisco @FlattenSF]

@Javajaded @JackieFielder_ @Scott_Wiener no, please do not say that

@Javajaded @JackieFielder_ @Scott_Wiener My question for you: can we afford NOT to do this?

@DeanPreston @AaronPeskin

#timeToFlatten

[Flatten San Francisco @FlattenSF]

@Javajaded @JackieFielder_ @Scott_Wiener I’m not defending SF’s current budget AT ALL. I think most of those billions are spent on symptoms and second order impacts that come from the fundamentally unequal terrain our city is built on.

[Flatten San Francisco @FlattenSF]

To everyone messaging us about affordability - we address this on our internet “site” https://t.co/fMfGqG9rgX

Modest tax increase + federal subsidies + tax benefits from new jobs MORE than cover the cost of the project

[Flatten San Francisco @FlattenSF]

@Javajaded @JackieFielder_ @Scott_Wiener We address this on our site!!

A modest tax increase, PLUS all the revenue from new prevailing wage jobs (and generous federal subsidies) would more than pay for this

[Flatten San Francisco @FlattenSF]

@jv18121 the sad reality is that only those with access to automobiles can reach the top of hills

restricting car use is a good first step toward a flatter SF

[Rebecca Lau @rebeccaxlau]

The one thing that makes Manhattan so much more walkable compared to SF is the flatness. You can walk anywhere easily. I don't miss the hills one bit.

[the sandwhich is a clear offer of support @SonjaTrauss]

@FlattenSF @JackieFielder_ @Scott_Wiener Hills are nature's highrises, and we know that highrises are bad and ruin neighborhood character.

[Flatten San Francisco @FlattenSF]

@ewan_sf @SonjaTrauss We are 100% serious! This is a grassroots movement focused on real change in SF, not more neoliberal grandstanding
