    Thank you ⁦⁦⁦@DavidChiu⁩ . SF should offer shelter to those who will accept it, but we can’t accept permanent encampment of public spaces. S.F. to appeal 'untenable' court ruling on homeless response | Politics | sfexaminer.com sfexaminer.com/news/politics/…

    After a string of robberies, yet another store closure in the Castro. No longer can we blame the pandemic for rising retail thefts and robberies (1/2)

    JUST IN: The Board of Supervisors just voted 10-1 to adopt a new version of my "fourplex” ordinance to allow up to four units of housing on every residentially zoned lot in the City and up to six units on corner lots — all while preserving SB 9 in San Francisco. 🧵

    The notion that we are going to solve our street conditions by building permanent housing for every unhoused person who may pass through San Francisco is a noble ambition and it’s not going to work. sfstandard.com/public-health/…

    Far too often San Francisco’s criminal justice system utterly fails to hold repeat offenders accountable for their crimes. Releasing someone with 120 misdemeanor and 8 felony charges on an ankle monitor is nuts - especially if you never even put it on. sfchronicle.com/crime/article/… (1)

    Magistrate Judge Ryu apparently believes the Constitution prohibits the involuntary removal of a single encampment unless and until SF has more shelter beds than homeless people. That’s absurd, and the City must appeal. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/S-F… via @sfchronicle

    Tomorrow, the Planning Commission will consider my proposal to allow fourplexes in neighborhoods throughout San Francisco. This would be a historic shift from the downzoning that occurred in the 1970s. We should allow multi-family housing across San Francisco. (1)

    The way much of SF is zoned makes it easier to flip existing housing into monster homes than to build small apartment buildings for working people. Today I am announcing legislation to allow fourplexes on corner lots & near major transit stations & curb monster home conversions.

    Thank you to the Planning Commission for unanimously approving my fourplex legislation to allow multi-unit buildings in historically single-family zoning districts. It’s time to change our zoning to allow more housing for more families across San Francisco. (1)

    I met the future first spouse today! It was an honor showing @Chas10Buttigieg some of my favorite places in the Castro with some of my favorite people in the neighborhood. Thanks Chasten and Team @PeteButtigieg!

    Today I introduced legislation to allow fourplexes in residential zoning districts across San Francisco. We're going to have to make much bigger moves than this to address our housing shortage, but this is a meaningful step in the right direction.

    If it feels like there is no traffic enforcement in San Francisco, it’s because there pretty much isn’t. Traffic citations plummeted 97% between 2014 and 2022, with SFPD issuing only 10 citations per day last year. 🧵

    If it seems like there isn’t any traffic enforcement in San Francisco, that’s because there largely isn’t. With 39 lives lost to traffic crashes last year, we simply cannot continue to shortchange street safety. 🧵

    Free Muni is a great slogan & bad policy for San Francisco right now. San Franciscans deserve excellent public transit that's safe, reliable & frequent. That takes money. Using scarce public dollars to make poor service free for 3 months is the wrong move.
