San Francisco supervisors approve Mayor Lurie’s ‘Family Zoning’ housing plan
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to approve Mayor Daniel Lurie’s controversial “Family Zoning Plan,” a proposal aimed at making it easier for developers to build taller, denser housing across the city.
The plan comes as San Francisco faces mounting pressure from the state to meet California’s housing goals. If cities fail to comply, state officials – not local leaders – will decide where new homes are built. For San Francisco, the city faces a Jan. 31 deadline to update its zoning rules to accommodate housing demand. The city also must create enough capacity for nearly 83,000 new units over the next six years to avoid state intervention.
“This is a critical step to keep San Francisco in control of what gets built in our city,” Lurie said earlier at a groundbreaking for new a affordable housing building in the SoMa neighborhood. “Too many families and young people are wondering if they’ll be able to stay in the city that they call home.”
Currently, most neighborhoods restrict mid-sized multifamily housing. Lurie’s plan would target areas like the Marina, Richmond and Sunset – districts that have seen little development in recent decades.

Some residents welcome the idea, citing affordability concerns.
“I just graduated out of college and trying to find a place that’s affordable is really hard,” said Sunset resident Aisha Williamson-Raun. “As long as they are affordable and make sense for what people are making, then yes. But if it’s just gonna push out people already in the community, then no.”
Supervisors debated how to balance housing capacity with affordability, with opponents criticizing that the measure does not earmark funding for the new housing units.
“This is response to state bullying disguised as results-oriented,” said Supervisor Shamann Walton. “Maybe if it included a financing package or proposal to actually build housing. Maybe if it guaranteed not to displace families and businesses…we can do better.”

In a statement after the board’s vote, small business owners in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood expressed concern about how the ordinance will impact rent-controlled tenants. The Small Business Forward association anticipates anywhere from 10 to 40 owners could face displacement under the new zoning plan.
“The Mayor and Board of Supervisors have paid lip service to supporting small businesses and their workers impacted by the inevitable displacements of dozens if not hundreds of businesses over the next several years. However, with no commitment to funding, there is no plan in place to support small businesses from the displacement they’ll experience from non-renewal of their lease.” said Christin Evans, co-owner of Booksmith and Alembic, co-founder and Board Member of Small Business Forward.
Supporters pushed back, arguing rejecting the ordinance would further delay necessary reforms for the city to catch up on expanding its housing capacity.+
“I reject the notion that we have to choose between building more homes and protecting renters,” said Supervisor Danny Sauter. “We can do both, and that’s what this plan does.”
The measure passed 7-4, with Supervisors Connie Chan, Chyanne Chen, Shamann Walton and Jackie Fielder voting no.

The Giants will start Trevor McDonald (1-0, 1.29 ERA) in his fourth start in the Majors while the Dodgers will counter with second-year Japanese import Roki Sasaki (1-3, 5.97 ERA) who has given up a home run in five consecutive outings.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the McCoven who hopefully have better things to do than watch this dreadful baseball team. But if this is your chosen way of spending the day, then welcome, and may the Giants beat the Pittsburgh Pirates to win the series for you.
Right-hander Tyler Mahle takes the mound for the Giants, as the veteran makes his eighth start of the year. He’s 1-4 on the season, with a 5.00 ERA, a 4.91 FIP, and 34 strikeouts to 18 walks in 36 innings. He was very strong his last time out, pitching 5.1 shutout innings against the Tampa Bay Rays.
For the Pirates, it’s right-hander Bubba Chandler, a 23-year old in his second season. In seven starts this year, Chandler is 1-4 with a 4.76 ERA, a 5.60 FIP, and 31 strikeouts to 26 walks in 34 innings. Chandler gave up two runs in five innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks in his last game. He has issued the most walks in the Major Leagues, so he’s probably foaming at the mouth to face the Giants, who apparently believe that drawing walks is a sin on par with murder.
Enjoy the game, everyone. Go Giants! Go moms!
