In less than a week, APEC will bring tens of thousands of visitors to San Francisco.
So what is APEC?
Here’s what you need to know: https://t.co/axezR6O8V3
A San Francisco non profit announced they got funding from some major sponsor (hint: it's someone who made money from this company that delivers packages within 2 days).
What does this mean?
Brokers like me find buildings to sell them at over market prices with tenants in them who lose their rent control rights to be owned by a non profit organization which actually makes their rent more expensive.
They can do means testing on units to increase rents on them based on household income but the trade off is they'll never be evicted due to an Ellis Act (these rarely happen).
All this happens and no new housing gets built.
And most people have no idea how this works.

Residential property owners are required to report information about their units into San Francisco’s Housing Inventory by March 1, 2023. Owners who report that a unit is tenant-occupied will receive a rent increase “license” that allows them to impose annual rent increases.
We are one of the wealthiest cities in the world with some of the brightest living here. The current BOS is wholly inadequate to make change or improve, and do not represent the majority’s wants and needs.
Vote & get involved. The city is on the brink.
