""There are parts of San Francisco that are begging for economic vitality. People want the housing, want the businesses, and nothing happens.""
"Lori Brooke, a community organizer, opposed the upzoning plan, suggesting that neighborhoods outside District 2 might be better suited for large housing projects."
"Mayor-appointed supervisor Stephen Sherrill supported the upzoning plan but opposed certain housing developments in District 2, including the Marina Safeway project."
San Francisco is mandated to plan for 82,000 new housing units by 2031 to tackle the affordability crisis. The state-mandated upzoning plan requires increasing housing capacity in wealthier neighborhoods, primarily in the north and west. However, residents in these areas, including District 2, oppose new housing due to concerns about neighborhood character and real estate speculation. Candidate Lori Brooke suggests that neighborhoods like Bayview may be more suitable for large housing projects, emphasizing the need for economic vitality in underserved areas.
