The Mayor and so-called “moderate” Supervisors are further reducing the requirement that private developers include affordable units in new developments. Industry is hell bent on full deregulation after which they’ll demand subsidy to build homes no working class person can afford.

City Hall is quite literally eliminating homes for working class people in the hopes that it will create more homes for millionaires. The new law will eliminate nearly all affordable (“below market rate”) units in new developments. It is class warfare against the working class.

The market fundamentalist at SF YIMBY, Abundant SF and Housing Action Coalition are actively lobbying in support of legislation to DECREASE affordable housing in new developments. We should be fighting for more affordable housing, not less.

Lurie and Mahmood want to halve the transfer tax on grounds (made up) that it is preventing high end property sales. In fact, high end properties sales are surging. The truth is they just want to give their billionaire pals (and donors) a tax break.

It is truly remarkable that city leaders have no plan whatsoever to deal with the surge in housing costs that is about to hit San Francisco

Mayor is gaslighting public transit riders whose lines have been cut, waits extended, and fares raised under his leadership

SF’s Mayor and SF’s Democratic Party are actively opposing a tax on the rich put forward by labor. The SF Democratic Party has fully abandoned the working class

Thanks Donald!

Check this out. Here’s a post from the official Democratic Party Facebook account today claiming homicides are down in SF thanks to conservative Democrat Mayor Lurie. In fact, City data shows 16 homicides so far this year, compared to 5 this time last year. More than triple.

$3 million for the city from this one transaction thanks to the transfer tax I wrote, @dsasf.org championed, and SF voters passed. This is why billionaires attack socialists and why billionaire-backed politicians want to eliminate the transfer tax.

Surprising nobody, Chronicle endorses Bloomberg’s guy. You know, the YIMBY-endorsed candidate who opposes housing development in his back yard. Can’t make this stuff up.

Mayor eliminated the only City run community ambassador program, and is now calling for more private ambassadors. He should reestablish OCEIA’s nationally recognized ambassador program, and bring back the amazing CAP ambassadors if they’ll come back after being disrespected and laid off.

Thanks Donald

Passed by a wide margin of SF voters, Prop I has raised over $500 million by taxing the ultra-wealthy to fund affordable housing. Mayor Lurie and Sup. Mahmood announced today their plan to repeal Prop I to give tax breaks to billionaires.

SFUSD students learned more about solidarity, power, and love this week from UESF and all who supported them than they could possibly have learned in school for the week. Thank you educators for showing the way 🙏

Thanks to @indivisiblesf.bsky.social for hosting this powerful vigil tonight for Alex Pretti and other victims of ICE violence

Here’s what SF’s billionaire-owned outlet thinks is an appropriate headline on MLK day. Can’t make this stuff up. Now try to imagine them ever writing a headline like that about a white candidate.

This says a lot. SF’s billionaire-run outlet knows billionaires are deeply unpopular so they run a story about how it isn’t just billionaires against the proposed billionaire tax

In the midst of nationwide protests of fascism, here’s what the bezoa-owned WaPo sees as newsworthy

Imagine watching this debate exchange and calling them “subtle distinctions” Question: Is Israel committing genocide in Gaza Chakrabarti: yes Chan: yes Wiener: refuses to answer

Thanks to voters who passed our Prop I in 2020, the sellers of these mega-mansions (who benefited for years from artificially low taxes under Prop 13) will pay nearly $10m in transfer taxes intended for social housing. Prop I is a crucial progressive tax, forcing the wealthy to pay their fair share.

Here’s the Mayor celebrating that the head of Blackstone is saying buy real estate in San Francisco 🤦‍♂️ Predatory real estate firms like Blackstone are the problem, not the solution. Let’s lower the rent, stop evictions, and create affordable homes instead of encouraging more real estate speculation

Lurie’s latest move tracks Section 3 of Trump’s executive order (“Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets”). Given the timing of Lurie’s latest announcement, media should ask Lurie whether he and Trump discussed this initiative in their Oct 22 phone call.

Welcome to BillionaireSF where the city “cracks down” on homeless families living in RVs. The cruelty seems to be the point. This will not age well.

Outrageous that WSJ (or anyone) would publish this fact-free garbage propaganda

The NY Times has managed to ‘both sides’ Trump’s corrupt demolition of the East Wing of the White House to make way for his opulent ballroom

San Francisco didn’t need the National Guard on our streets when Newsom did it in 2023 and we don’t need it when Trump’s doing it in 2025

Note how the SF Standard adopts conservative slogan/framing, rebranding supportive housing as “drug-tolerant housing.” The same could be said of any apartment building, condo complex, or single family home, but the term will only be used to describe the housing low-income people occupy.

This is an example of an irresponsible headline, with @cnn.com acting as stenographer. The headline should simply read: “Trump sending troops to Portland.” That’s the news. Instead, CNN platforms his false explanation for why he is sending troops. Stop platforming lies from known liars. Just stop.
