Supervisor Chan Claps Back at Colleagues For Admonishing Her Budget, Housing Plan Concerns
"Per SFist, District 1 Supervisor Connie Chan was among the four supervisors who voted no on the Family Zoning Plan Tuesday, as a large portion of her constituents live in rent-controlled housing. We're still leaving approximately 20,000 rent-controlled units behind, putting 20,000 households at risk of displacement, Chan said, per the Chronicle. 30% of those 20,000 rent-controlled units are located in the Richmond, the district that I represent."
"If you were going back on this and cannot even be here in person, and set me up with two assholes, then this is not good faith, Chan wrote. That was not my impression or understanding, Mandelman told the Chronicle. I would chalk that up to an honest miscommunication. Per 48 Hills, Chan's determination to stand up for her constituents has opened her up to dismissiveness and public scoldings from her colleagues."
Connie Chan voted against the Family Zoning Plan, citing that about 20,000 rent-controlled units would be left behind and at risk of displacement, with roughly 30% located in the Richmond. Chan privately confronted Board President Rafael Mandelman in texts, accusing him of acting in bad faith and "setting her up" with temporary budget committee appointees Danny Sauter and Bilal Mahmood. Mandelman called the situation an honest miscommunication. Colleagues publicly dismissed Chan's concerns as petty or fear mongering, while Chan maintains she is standing up for vulnerable constituents and remains unruffled.
