The upzoning plan doesn't prioritize the deeply affordable housing that seniors and disabled people in our community need, and it puts low-income people in direct danger of speculation and displacement. We are asking for reasonable tenant and small business protections to be included in the plan.

We will be joined by @repcoalitionsf.bsky.social for a discussion to learn more about the citywide impacts and what this means for Western SOMA.

The Mayor has proposed a citywide upzoning plan that will allow for taller and denser luxury market-rate housing, and will very likely displace small businesses and existing residents. [2/3]
