Last month the San Francisco Planning Commission voted to advance Mayor Daniel Lurie’s upzoning plan with a 4-3 vote. This split vote shows that there are clearly concerns with the plan and reinforces what we have heard from community, housing advocates and stakeholders throughout the last year – that we must do more to protect our tenants, aging homeowners and small businesses from displacement while advancing legislation to support more housing.

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie’s housing and upzoning plan is getting a lot of attention. The SF Planning Commission will consider it this month, and the SF Board of Supervisors will vote on it later this fall.
We have legislation to establish further protections for small businesses as well as empowering workers to engage with their employer when a business is up for sale. In the Richmond, we are lucky to have the most amazing neighborhood commercial corridors, filled with legacy businesses, outstanding restaurants, unique shops and vital services. The Richmond is defined by shops like Green Apple Books, Toy Boat, Tantrum, New May Wah Supermarket, New World Market, Cinderella, Schubert’s, the Balboa Theatre and too many more independent businesses to name.
I’m excited to announce $1.5 million in new state and city funding to revitalize the Sunset Boulevard green space corridor.
Since May, my team and I have dedicated our time to deliver the City’s budget.
San Francisco City Hall just completed its budget cycle. I was appointed to serve on the two most critical fiscal committees: budget and finance along with budget and appropriations.
This summer on the west side of the City, the Recreation and Park Department plans to host three concerts at the Polo Field in Golden Gate Park.
San Francisco has a famously large budget, which is approaching $16 billion. We also face a historic deficit of more than $800 million. June is budget season at City Hall, where the mayor and the Board of Supervisors finalize what to cut and spend.
Our city government budget is a statement of San Francisco’s values, and it has never been more important than at this moment – a moment when we face fascist attacks from our federal government.
Mayor Daniel Lurie and the SF Planning Department released a map proposing where San Francisco can build more housing by increasing height limits for multifamily buildings.
Last month, Mayor Daniel Lurie and Board of Supervisors President Rafael Mandelman supported my efforts to advance a package of legislation to modernize the City’s aging firefighting apparatuses.
Public school administrators are facing tough budget decisions this year. I’ve heard from many anxious parents who are concerned about the state of our public school system. High-quality education is essential for keeping families in San Francisco – and our future depends on being a family-friendly city.
As we embark on the City’s budget season, I wanted to provide an update on a number of city projects impacting the Richmond District. We are seeing many changes to our neighborhood, and I want to make sure you are aware of what is happening, why it is happening and how you can be involved.
We have all heard about online scams and the need to be wary. But did you know that residents in the Sunset District and our western neighborhoods lost more than $7 million from scams last year?
