About the event
Picture Above - Lombard Street
District 2, like many neighborhoods across San Francisco, is facing substantial upzoning under Mayor Breed's direction, aimed at increasing building heights citywide (view interactive map for details). However, these towering developments won't address the affordable housing shortage. Instead, upzoning drives speculation for luxury high-rises, leading to the demolition of existing affordable housing, displacement of tenants and small businesses, and widespread gentrification, which will deeply affect our neighborhoods and diminish the quality of life for all residents.
ASK QUESTIONS
Why has our City forced increased heights without adequate input from SF residents?
Who will fund expensive infrastructure for 200,000 new residents?
Is the 82,000 new unit mandate still valid since is was calulcated in 2019 (pre-covid) and new population growth estimates are now far less?
