Mayor Lurie and Supervisor Mahmood's “BUILD Act” would repeal a tax on rich real estate investors that has raised over $500m for housing working-class San Franciscans can afford.

Billionaires Attack Rent Control GrowSF, a group funded by billionaires yet claiming to speak for the working class, released an attack ad on Monday targeting the four Supervisors who voted against the Mayor's Family Zoning Plan. As written, this plan threatens to demolish existing rent-controlled units, while failing to invest in the deeply affordable housing we need. SF Standard headline: Moderate political group attacks supervisors who voted against Lurie’s upzoning plan
Tireless organizing by tenants, supported by DSA SF and Supervisor Jackie Fielder, succeeded in exempting many rent controlled units - but the Mayor's plan still leaves up to 20,000 units vulnerable to demolition, placing a target on the backs of working families. Headline: Board of Supervisors Strikes Down Rent-Control Amendment
We commend DSA SF member Supervisor Jackie Fielder and her colleagues - Supervisors Chan, Chen, and Walton - for voting against this proposal, and we urge the Board to put forward a plan that centers housing for working families, not profits for real estate developers. DSA SF and our allies will continue to fight against the displacement of tenants, and for real solutions to the affordability crisis like social housing, which San Franciscans voted for in 2020’s Prop I and which Mayor Lurie and his wealthy backers continue to ignore.
San Franciscans deserve housing security, not displacement. The Mayor’s Family Zoning Plan still leaves more than 20,000 rent-controlled homes vulnerable to demolition. Thank you to Supervisors Fielder, Chan, Chen, and Walton for standing with tenants and working families.

If only it hadn’t been delayed multiple times with a floundering public-private partnership with Cubic 🥲
Clipper 2 is a huge deal from a fare equity perspective. Transfer agencies on your ride? You won't pay the base fare twice anymore! That's $100+ back to daily commuters every month.
If someone's response to an effort to fund social housing is to complain about how a ballot campaign was run 5 years ago, I'm going to interpret that as they oppose social housing, and they are an obstacle to be routed around.
Either option is disqualifying imo.
In addition, Bilal has one of the most conservative voting records in recent BoS history. I's like to see some acknowledgement of this from a self-proclaimed "progressive".
... "blocked housing".
These are the same talking points used by Grow SF and other neoliberal attackers. My take is that either a) he was extremely uninformed about local politics and did not think much about a $10k+ donation, or b) he was informed but cannot admit that he was wrong about Bilal.
For context: I am a DSA SF member and went to one of Saikat's SF resident zoom calls.
When I asked Saikat why he donated to Bilal, he said he believed they were both progressives but he though Bilal would do more to get housing built, and that he was disappointed in some of Dean's votes that...
The Chronicle is dead wrong. Mamdani was elected by DSA and working class people organizing to build political power. Lurie was elected by money. They couldn’t be more different because Lurie and his billionaire friends are the history of politics.👋 Mamdani, DSA, and working people are the future.🌹 Chronicle headline: Zohran Mamdani and Daniel Lurie couldn’t be more different, but they share what Democrats lack
The SF Chronicle recently compared Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani, mayor-elect of NYC, to Levi's heir Daniel Lurie. They could not be more different.
Facts: “The report shouldn’t be a shock to anyone...because zoning is just one factor of 100. I’m afraid ‘We’re going to sue the government until the capital markets do what we want’ is basically the textbook definition of San Francisco YIMBYism.” - @uhshanti.bsky.social

I don’t mean to imply that living in the suburbs makes you a racist, but you have to know how history has impacted the modern state of our cities.
“@doomloopdispatch.bsky.social has blocked you” DM from listifications
Post text: Fuck yeah! Suburbs are rad. They let folks own houses, creating generational wealth. Real estate interests want you to give up on the idea so you're forced to rent for the rest of your life. Fuck that
Ope looks like someone didn’t want to acknowledge that they may have benefited from systemic racism
The way to fight racist power imbalances between landlords & tenants isn’t more private property. It’s fighting for tenants associations, tenants rights, and tenants protections to build democratic community power.
If you can’t see that all suburban wealth, including yours, is built on racial and economic segregation, then how are you supposed to begin to right these historical wrongs?
Reminder that suburban wealth doesn’t exist in a vacuum; rather it exists at the expense of poor, working class communities of color that are victims of racial and economic segregation. publichealth.berkeley.edu/articles/spo...
The solution to landlord power is suburban sprawl???
