Our Executive Director Laura Foote's op-ed was featured in @richmond.com on why one provision in the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act could detract from an otherwise HUGE pro-housing bill.

Banning build-to-rent homes won’t lower costs, it limits options and reduces the supply of homes available.

YIMBYism has won the battle for the heart of the Democratic Party.

there are still some holdouts (looking at you, Karen Bass), but Democrats are finally becoming the party of building more housing, transit, and clean energy

SF YIMBY endorsed Alan Wong, but call him out for ‘opposing affordable housing’ The supervisor who voted for Mayor Daniel Lurie's upzoning plan, is now opposing affordable housing projects in his district.

Read our full statement here: sfyimby.org/blog/recent-...

SAN FRANCISCO - SF YIMBY is disappointed by Supervisor Wong’s recent actions toward the affordable housing project being constructed at 2550 Irving. His decision to create an inflammatory, NIMBY petition purporting risks to public health is based on scientifically unfounded claims that were thoroughly disproven during the permitting process. This project has brought hundreds of much needed affordable homes to the Outer Sunset, and it has done so safely. We are also disappointed by and, frankly, surprised at Supervisor Wong’s decision to oppose senior affordable housing at 1234 Great Highway. We urge him to rise to the occasion of addressing San Francisco’s immense affordability crisis by leading on solutions. We appreciate Supervisor Wong’s support of the Family Zoning Plan and continue to see him as the most pro-housing candidate in the upcoming District 4 supervisorial election. However, we expect better from a city supervisor than peddling NIMBY conspiracy theories and opposing affordable housing projects in his district. Support for affordable homes in the Sunset District comprises an important pillar of San Francisco’s commitment to affirmatively further fair housing and is a necessary component of compliance with California’s pro-housing laws. We call on Supervisor Wong to both rescind his petition and endorse the proposed project at 1234 Great Highway.

Scott Wiener passed laws that made it easier to build in California. Can he do the same in Congress? If elected, will the prolific Wiener get housing laws passed at a national level? Or will Congress' tendency to inaction win out?

Only if we elect him!

join us for a discussion with Strong Towns! Friday, January 23, 2026 | 5:30 pm Manny's 3092 16th St (16th and Valencia) San Francisco, CA 94103 San Francisco is facing real challenges around housing, infrastructure, transit, and city finances. Many of these issues share a common root: development patterns that are expensive to maintain and hard to adapt over time. Join Strong Towns, the Strong Towns San Francisco Local Conversation, and San Francisco YIMBY for a casual meetup focused on the underlying financial condition of San Francisco and how decades of suburban-style development have shaped today’s housing and budget debates. Norm Van Eeden Petersman from Strong Towns will give a short, San Francisco–specific talk, followed by open discussion and shared learning across movements working toward a more abundant, resilient city. Whether you come from YIMBY advocacy, local organizing, or simple curiosity about how cities really function, this is a space to connect ideas and people. No tickets or signup required, this is a free event and the venue has a lot of nearby Muni lines plus a BART station a block away. We hope to see you there and please feel free to bring along a friend who is interested in housing, transit, infrastructure, urban design, or city finances. After the event, anyone who wants to continue the conversation is welcome to walk over to Standard Deviant Brewing (14th St). Look for the Strong Towns shirt.
