The Richmond District’s first 100% affordable housing development held its grand opening on Nov. 17, 2025. The seven-story building, located at 383 Sixth Ave., is fully leased and home to 98 senior citizens who are overwhelmingly enthusiastic about their new residences.
Plans to replace the Safeway supermarket near the beach at 850 La Playa St. with a couple of eight-story buildings – including 526 new residential units – have been submitted to the San Francisco Planning Department.
After plans for a 50-story building to replace the Sloat Garden Center collapsed under pressure from locals and the City, the developer is back with plans for a building about half that size.
This July, after first winning approval from the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), the SF Board of Supervisors, by a 9-to-2 majority, approved a plan by Mayor Daniel Lurie that makes it illegal to park recreational vehicles (RVs) and other oversized vehicles on city streets for more than two hours. Violators are subject to tickets, fines and towing charges.
As many as 20,700 units of rent-controlled housing could be demolished if San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie’s upzoning plan is passed in its current form, although District 1 Supervisor Connie Chan introduced an amendment to completely exclude them.
Blueprint plans to build 83 units of housing in the old Alexandria Theatre at Geary Boulevard and 18th Avenue were formally submitted to the San Francisco Planning Department, although a construction timeline was not.
As construction continues at 2550 Irving St., questions and demands remain about the cleanup and City and state response to the toxic plume.
The latest development in the City’s ongoing struggle to deal with people living in recreational vehicles (RVs) is the San Francisco Board of Supervisors’ rejection of Mayor London Breed’s revived policy for towing these rolling shelters away.
The controversial proposal to build a skyscraper across the street from the San Francisco Zoo has become the latest example of much bigger housing issues and how best to confront them.
For many, it would be a dream come true to live in the Presidio.
Proposals for a new mixed-use building with housing on the site now occupied by the Sloat Garden Center keep getting bigger, and so does local opposition to the project in and around the Sunset District.
Construction has begun on a five-story mixed use building that will include 20 residential units and ground floor commercial space in the Outer Sunset District at the southeast corner of 45th Avenue and Judah Street.
San Francisco will have to build about 25% more housing, and dedicate that strictly for blue-collar and skilled workers, to meet the demands of both current and future job requirements, according to a recent report.
