Good victorious morning ☕️

Update: Mass arrests of up to 60 skaters and spectators proceeding in Dolores Park

I've had so many of my colleagues in the legislature send me this article and ask me what the hell is going on in San Francisco. One legislator from the Central Valley texted me with the question "I thought San Francisco was progressive?!!" Because to her, and most people across the state, building more housing is a progressive policy principle. These type of decisions are not only bad policy, pushing SF further from addressing our housing crisis, they also leave the perception across the state and country that San Francisco doesn't want to and is maybe even incapable of helping itself confront its own problems. That has real consequences on private and public sector investments and support that will have deep impacts on our residents. We desperately need CEQA reform and state intervention and enforcement of existing housing laws to ensure San Francisco actually builds the housing it is committed to, or we will continue to have one of the most unaffordable cities in the country. It is something I'm committed to seeing through this legislative session with urgency and determination.
