Family Housing Day at the Planning Commission

San Francisco’s next generation deserves a city they can live and thrive in, and the new rezoning map helps make that possible!

Mayor Lurie and SF Planning just released an ambitious new rezoning map that makes it easier to build more housing of all types throughout San Francisco, focusing on the Westside of San Francisco to allow more residents to age in their communities and more neighbors to enjoy.

Our rezoning plan will build housing for the next generation; it will build housing to keep our families together; it will build housing for our chosen families and community.

To celebrate, we're going to Planning to show our support!

Join us for Family Housing Day at the Planning Commission! Bring the whole family! Grandparents, kids, and those you share space and community with. Let’s celebrate our voices and to show why building more homes keeps our communities whole. Share your personal story with Planning about why housing matters and what housing abundance means for your family and community.The logistics:

• The meeting starts at noon, and we expect this item to be called early, we will keep you posted.

• Wear your finest YIMBY shirts, buttons, hats, and more!

Show up for housing in Central SoMa!

Supervisor Dorsey has continued the work he started with Mayor Breed and the Office of Economic & Workforce Development (OEWD) on legislation to allow for increased residential development as a part of the Central SoMa plan. That plan was originally slated to include 2/3rds commercial development for the larger buildings. Now they are changing that threshold to increase the flexibility and build more homes! This is precisely the creative thinking we need to solve our housing shortage.
