In short, the Bernal Heights Safeway site is perfect for housing and we can't wait to hear more about this potential development. Thank you to the @sfchronicle.com for including our perspectives!

And one of the things that makes that so exciting is that potentially, if the development is done thoughtfully, you could keep the Safeway open while developing more housing on the property.”

@bpinsf.bsky.social also weighs in with some wise words on why the site is perfect for housing! "It’s a huge site. It has access to three different streets.

So that particular area is a flat large lot in a commercial corridor … that could use a lot more activation from a housing perspective.”

Caroline McCormack is quoted on why the Safeway site is so perfect for housing: "One of the things we hear in terms of push back from fellow neighbors in Bernal is that the narrow streets are not the right fit for multi-family housing.

Ruth Ferguson is quoted on why, while 100% affordable would be great at the site, we support market-rate housing too! “If that is something that’s going to take 30 years, then no, I’m not supportive of that, because people need housing now.”

The news is in the @sfchronicle.com today in a story that includes quotes from several of our members on why Bernal Heights, which has built miniscule numbers of housing for decades, needs more housing now: www.sfchronicle.com/realestate/a...
