Great job @DanielLurie !

One of the most prolific criminals in all of San Francisco tells @adam22 that “crime in San Francisco is over with” because of Flock cameras + drones. He complains that he can’t even do drivebys anymore.

It’s simple: when the risk of getting caught is too high, crime plummets.

[Councilwoman Katy Yaroslavsky @CD5LosAngeles]

We DESPERATELY need the State to pass AB 1903 and AB 1406, which would reform construction defect liability and homebuyer deposit rules that have made new condo projects harder to finance and build.

The City Council is set to take up support resolutions for both soon, and I'll be making a hard push for them in the next few months.

@BuffyWicks Which bills are we talking about here so we can follow?

[Mission Local @MLNow]

Tomorrow at 1:30, SF's upzoning plan will head to committee for final amendments.

Proposals include increasing the percentage of large, family-friendly units and removing historical buildings.

But there are limits to how much can change.

.@StephenCurry30, come to San Jose! I'm committed to making our city the fastest, cheapest, most convenient California city to invest in. https://t.co/6GF5ADT8p6

In my lifetime, San Diego’s population has doubled, but our housing production was cut by two-thirds. We are reversing that trend by building more homes and cutting red tape. #BuildMoreHousing #Forward #ForAllofUs

So excited about Meski, a new Afro-Latin restaurant opening in the Tenderloin. Thank you to @Money23Green and everyone involved for investing in our city. Make sure to swing by on your next night out!

Mayor Lurie and the planning department released a map proposing where San Francisco can build more housing by increasing height limits for apartment buildings. This is called upzoning and is required by state law. San Francisco’s state-mandated housing goal is 82,000 new units. If our upzoning map doesn’t add up, we risk losing local planning control and the state will decide where to put the new housing. Every California city has to submit a map to meet their state-required housing goal.

It’s important to note that San Francisco’s plan:

— Does NOT change existing height along the coast and Sunset Boulevard
— Focuses upzoning in areas where it makes the most sense – along commercial and transit corridors (especially where there are trains
— Encourages the use of all modes of transportation

Read the planning department’s upzoning document (the map is on page 24): https://t.co/K8tOXfhKYT

For some, the upzoning is welcome because it means creating housing options to meet real-life needs. Young adults and families want affordable apartments that will allow them to stay in San Francisco. Seniors want the option to downsize to an apartment in a building with an elevator where they can safely age in place without leaving their neighborhood. Building multi-family housing will help grandparents remain close to their grandkids.

For others, the prospect of changes to a neighborhood they’ve known for decades can cause tremendous concern. Because of the state mandate, doing nothing is not an option. San Francisco is required to upzone.

The creation of this map was led by Mayor Lurie and the planning department with input from supervisors. My input was based on what I’ve heard from many Sunset residents. I’ve attended a number of town halls on housing sponsored by neighborhood groups, the planning department, and Self Help for the Elderly which is creating affordable senior housing in the Sunset.

Two things I heard most were: Protect the coast and protect Sunset Boulevard. And I focused on these two concerns. The map reflects our community’s wishes: it indeed protects the coast and Sunset Boulevard.

THERE ARE NO CHANGES TO EXISTING HEIGHTS ON THE STREETS ADJACENT TO THE COAST AND GREAT HIGHWAY
For further protection, our city charter forbids housing development on parkland. Now that the Great Highway between Lincoln and Sloat is legally parkland under the jurisdiction of the Rec and Park Department, it is protected from any oceanfront housing. Ocean Beach is not going to become Miami Beach.

Some have questioned why Self Help for the Elderly can build affordable housing for seniors near the coast at La Playa and Lincoln that is taller than existing height limits. A state law from 1979 allows several extra stories of height at the coast only for housing that is 100 percent affordable. The senior housing meets that criteria.

THE EXISTING HEIGHTS ON SUNSET BOULEVARD WILL NOT CHANGE
A draft of the upzoning map last year suggested allowing up to eight stories along the entire stretch of Sunset Boulevard. The current map does not upzone Sunset Boulevard. I made the case that upzoning on Sunset Boulevard was nonsensical because it has zero commercial properties.

The mayor agreed with me that we should focus most upzoning along actual commercial and transit corridors. That’s why the map has height increases along Irving, Judah, Noriega, and Taraval.

THIS MAP IS STILL A DRAFT
It must go through a lengthy and public process at the planning department. Public comment and input will be taken. The Board of Supervisors will vote on it this fall.

Our future depends on being able to keep seniors, young adults, and middle-income workers and families in San Francisco — along with welcoming newcomers who bring their talents and diversity to our city. We can do this by embracing more multi-family housing that can coexist with single-family homes and complement the westside neighborhoods we love.

The Los Angeles Planning and Land Use Management (PLUM) Committee meets today to review the SINGLE STAIR proposal to update the Building Code and allow for single-exit, single-stairway, multifamily unit residential buildings up to six stories.

We are at City Hall to support!

The Presidio is a crown jewel of San Francisco and a national model for how public land can serve the public. The Presidio Trust has self-funded for more than a decade, and San Franciscans can rest assured the Presidio is not going anywhere. We stand ready to support Speaker Pelosi and our federal partners.

Finally! Projects in coastal zones won't face long delays starting in 2025, thanks to SB-423. Eligible developments proposing even 10+ units, can now move forward with streamlined approvals if they meet affordability requirements.
