Danny Sauter emphasized that it is "silly" to ignore the lack of housing construction in San Francisco's District 3, arguing for the transformation of parking lots and office spaces into residential areas. He believes that despite claims of density, there are abundant opportunities for new housing developments in the district.
Sauter criticized the current planning code as "antiquated" and not adaptable to the economic reality, expressing frustration that flexible retail spaces are largely illegal in District 3, while these spaces can thrive in other parts of the city.
Highlighting the accessibility and affordability for small businesses, Sauter advocated for changes in retail space planning, suggesting the need for smaller, more manageable spaces instead of large vacant areas in tourist-heavy locations.
Expressing optimism for the future, Sauter noted, "After a lot of years of pessimism in San Francisco, I feel like there is hope and optimism, and energy and excitement" in the city, indicating a positive shift in community sentiment.
