Today we broke ground on 90 new homes in the Sunset for families and our veterans.
This affordable housing coming to Irving Street is part of our broader strategy to keep building housing across all of San Francisco. Thank you Supervisor @JoelEngardio for your continued advocacy for more housing. And thank you to @California_HCD, @bankofamerica and @TNDC for supporting these homes and working with us to get more housing built.

The viral rent to income video is a lie. I tracked down the original source & methodology. It forgot to adjust HUD's rental data for inflation, but did use "real" median income, which is adjusted for inflation. While a problematic rent/income gap exists, we need to tell the truth

Our leaders in Sacramento have one week to save public transit.
June 15th is the state budget deadline. I again urge the State Legislature to work with the Governor to fund transit and prevent the fiscal cliff. – at San Francisco, CA

To anyone who cares about public transit, this piece is agony to read. But it's not about buses. It's about the mental health emergency that is everywhere in the US, but is most visible in urban public space. 1/x washingtonpost.com/nation/20…
