SFMTA just gutted 365 of the 465 affordable units promised atop the Potrero Yard bus facility — after eight years of community planning — because the city never actually secured funding to build them. Meanwhile, Mayor Lurie is pushing SF's first comprehensive charter reform in 30 years while clashing with progressive supervisors who blocked his drug crisis intervention program. The decisions being made now by the Board of Supervisors and the Mayor will define whether San Francisco can deliver on basic promises to residents — or keep producing $1.7M toilets and phantom housing.
The Mission spent eight years in working groups designing housing that SFMTA admitted was only ever a future possibility — never a funded commitment. Then the city cut 365 units and called it a compromise.
SF's 540-page city charter is the longest in the country, and it was built to protect insiders. Lurie is finally tearing it apart.
