San Francisco's housing credibility is in freefall after SFMTA eliminated 365 of 465 promised affordable units from the Potrero Yard project — revealing the housing was never funded in the first place, just a "future possibility" sold to a community that spent eight years designing it. Meanwhile, Mayor Lurie is pushing the city's first comprehensive charter reform in 30 years while taking on the Board of Supervisors on drug policy, homelessness, and the structural dysfunction that produced a $1.7 million public toilet. The fault lines between Lurie's reform agenda and holdout progressives like Chan and Fielder are defining what SF politics looks like in 2026.
