San Francisco Board of Supervisors

The status quo is insane. The status quo in which so many folks living in permanent supportive housing developments are consigned to deal with the most outrageous behavior from their neighbors, and the managers of those buildings are unable to do anything about it because of government policy.”

And you have additional resources for new planting that you have not had over the last few years?”

But this question I was going back and forth— why doesn’t your— doesn’t AT&T’s alternative analysis also look at alternative technologies?”

It’s just demoralizing watching you doing the work because for every families that you place for permanent home, 2, 3, 4, and more families became homeless during the very same period of time.”

In partnership with community advocates and stakeholders across the city, we’ve been working in good faith to improve the proposed upzoning plan to ensure that we mitigate risk of speculative real estate investments and displacements of tenants and small businesses.”

…in the events that, um, this software does not work or this, uh, contract does not work, what is the plan B?”

So, so you would sign off on a permit in 2016 without inspecting the building in 2016?”

It is absolutely critical not only for the success of businesses and workers here but also for the funds that, that help get more police officers for every neighborhood, more firefighters for every neighborhood, more street cleaning for every neighborhood. We need to be using every tool at our disposal to help this economic revitalization and recovery.”

They operate the only drop-in center for unhoused individuals in the northeast corner of our city.”

…at this point, would you be able to approve 4 units on this site, or would that necessitate an additional structure, right?”

…if we were to go down the route of restoring this fountain, to its original form and function, do we have a sense of the cost of such an endeavor?”

The increase in the threshold for inclusionary fees from 10 units to 25 units in particular will help with the exact kind of mid-sized projects encouraged by the family zoning plan.”

One of the continuous points that we heard across the hearings was guidance from HCD that if you remove something from the zoning plan from a capacity perspective, you have to provide a commensurate increase, otherwise it risks being out of compliance with the housing element.”

Mayor, what specific resources, tools, and contracts have been used under the fentanyl state of emergency ordinance to address the fentanyl crisis in this last year?”

Colleagues, I’m a strong believer in this map and this legislation. In my view, the Family Zoning Plan is the linchpin of housing affordability strategy that San Francisco needs to survive into the 21st century.”

Likewise, many advocates from the recovery community I’ve spoken with are comfortable with it. It’s my understanding that SFMMS is also comfortable with it and is prepared to withdraw its opposition to the legislation. All that being said, the final, final wordsmithing is still being done with our city attorney, the mayor’s office, and HSH.”

That is Aisha Wahab’s bill, the Keeping Californians Housed Act of 2026. The best way to prevent homelessness is to prevent people from being homeless.”

This union and the leadership you’ve exercised on Joint Council 7. I think the challenges we’re facing right now in transportation with the rise of AV technology presents a real serious threat to the workers and how we are doing things.”

I don’t know if that’s a phrase. Our code has become convoluted over time, and it requires regular cleanup of obsolete sections, redundancies, purging of sections that are no longer useful. And I want to be clear that I do think that that’s an appropriate use of AI.”

Colleagues, firstly, I just want to say I do believe in having more abstinent or sober housing as an option for unhoused people who are in recovery from substance use disorder.”

These locations might be subject to density decontrol, but that is not upzoning, as is— as are the parcels with rent-controlled Units.”

However, I’d like to have a vote on this seat separate from the rest of the seats and express my concern about what it means. This seat requires someone with experience in homelessness or mental health advocacy, and this vote today will unseat a longtime homelessness advocate here in San Francisco.”

Colleagues, I’m also requesting a fiscal and policy analysis regarding the anticipated expiration of federal emergency housing voucher funding and broader instability in housing choice vouchers, Section 8 resources, and the potential role of the City and County of San Francisco in preventing displacement and homelessness through local investment from the Controller’s Office and the BLA.”

This is a theoretical framework that will achieve nothing that puts us in line with meeting state goals, and it most certainly will not put us in line with addressing the housing crisis that we have here in San Francisco.”

I do have a couple of questions for our controller through the chair. The first one is, what is the projected budget deficit for the upcoming fiscal year?”

Sheriff, I have another question. What, what is the maximum time that we have an individual in the reset center?”
