San Francisco Really Needs to Get Serious About the Future of Its Downtown

Alarm bells should be going off… but there’s no plan yet — The recent Warriors Parade brought a much-needed flurry of activity to our downtown neighborhood for an area of San Francisco that has been slow to recover from the pandemic. But despite being a dynasty, the Warriors can’t provide downtown a parade every week. …

The Nearly Impossible Path to Opening a Small Business in San Francisco’s District 3

From Pop-Ups to Bakeries, Job Training Centers and Art Studios, You Might Be Surprised at What’s Not Allowed. — According to a recent study, San Francisco is the hardest city in the United States to run a small business. We see the impact of this in our District 3 neighborhoods, where places like North Beach have a 21% vacancy rate (and this was before the pandemic). This is a…

San Francisco Can Lead On Economic Recovery by Reimagining Tourist and Retail Heavy Neighborhoods

As I’ve been meeting neighbors and small business owners in District 3 neighborhoods like Fisherman’s Wharf and Union Square, I’ve heard deep concerns and questions about how their neighborhoods, in particular, will survive the coming months and years. — One corner store owner in Nob Hill shared with me this week that his sales are just 20% of what they typically are because of the drop in tourists. A neighbor near Union Square put it simply to me, “Where have all the people gone? When will they come back?”

District 3 Couldn’t Figure Out Slow Streets, So We Created Our Own.

It’s been nearly 100 days, and yet, San Francisco’s densest set of neighborhoods still does not have a single Slow Street. Slow Streets are SFMTA’s response to COVID-19 to make more room for essential workers to travel, families and children to play, and neighbors to practice social distancing as they…

Real Police Accountability: Where we go from here

What a reimagination of law enforcement and community investment can look like in San Francisco. — In the weeks since the killing of George Floyd, San Francisco has shown both incredible compassion and strength. Compassion to grieve together, and strength to lift one another up. We’ve marched. We’ve protested. And now, we turn towards reimagination. …

Slow Streets in District 3 — Underwhelming and Uninspired.

50+ days after the concept was introduced, District 3 finally has a “Slow Street.” I stopped by this week to check things out at Stockton & Lombard. It’s on a hill. It’s 3 blocks long. It had cars flying by. The densest neighborhoods in San Francisco deserve a whole…

A time for listening and action.

On Monday, I knelt with thousands of others at City Hall in San Francisco to call for action and real change in light of the turmoil and terror that the last week has brought. My heart breaks for George Floyd, his family, and the entire African American community that has…
