I oppose these out-of-scale luxury towers on our beautiful waterfront. As a neighborhood leader, I supported hundreds of units of new sensible housing along Polk Street and Van Ness Avenue.
As Supervisor, I will give great weight to the voices of long established neighborhood, community and merchant organizations in shaping my views on individual projects.
We should welcome new housing, office, and hotel development downtown with appropriate community benefits and commitments to pay prevailing wages to a skilled and trained workforce.
As a trained professional urban planner, I believe that local zoning is the right level of government to manage growth. The three (955, 1088, and 875) Sansome towers are out of scale with the surrounding neighborhood.
