Millions of homes aren't being used in US cities, yet ~500K unhoused people in entire US.
Why: vacation rentals, AirBnBs, disinvestment, deteriorating conditions, mismatch between local wages & housing costs.-roshan abraham️ trib.al/GWiDRrD
Half the condos in many buildings sit vacant thanks to 'an oversupply resulting from 100s of new luxury condos flooding the city in the last 5 years.'
Join us at SF's Land Use hearing 10/16, 1:30pm to demand #AffordableFirst not more unaffordable units!

'If AB 1633 is signed into law, SF communities like South of Market will suffer, as serious environmental and public health impacts will go unanalyzed and unmitigated. ... [Office of the Governor of California] must 'walk the walk” and reject AB 1633.' - Reina Tello

It is not a coincidence that billionaires are demanding the conservative court allow them to keep wealth built off stolen wages, while also demanding that the poorest people should be ousted from cities & don't have rights to even a tarp for cover.

SF is unceded Ramaytush Ohlone land. #IndigenousPeoplesDay
REP-SF fights for truly affordable, dignified housing & equity in land use, which means fighting for Indigenous communities to play a lead role in land development!

SF must put #AffordableFirst & #ProtectTenants to #PreventHomelessness .
Rather than demanding a conservative court deny civil rights & allow the City to push people further into poverty, let's prioritize ensuring folks have a dignified place to live!

The Mayor 'streamlining' legislation that prioritizes unaffordable housing w/ NO PLAN for ~47K affordable units the State has established SF must build will be heard again at SF's Land Use Committee on Oct. 16th at 1:30pm.
Stay tuned & join REP-SF in demanding #AffordableFirst !
Even the State is saying 57% of housing built in SF should be affordable, yet London Breed's housing plan for the next 8 years includes NO PLAN for the ~47K affordable units.
Her policies = more homelessness. Join Race & Equity in all Planning Coalition & call in Monday! #AffordableFirst !
Housing Justice = Racial Justice!
#ProtectTenants #PreventHomelessness #AffordableFirst !
Quantitative study proves what we know: evictions increase homelessness, reduce tenants’ earnings, & impede credit access. Black & female tenants face worse outcomes.economics.yale.edu/news/230926/ne…
THIS COMING MONDAY 10/2 at 1:30pm!
It's time for the City to stop giving handouts to developers and put truly affordable, dignified housing FIRST!
#AffordableFirst ! No more developer giveaways!!!
San Francisco must stop policing unhoused people out of sight.
The city must urgently create permanent affordable housing to end this vicious cycle of homelessness, poverty and gender violence.
#HousingNotHandcuffs #Stopthesweeps
We need #HomeNotJails
The housing system is steeped in racism & classism. Let's shift to a culture that prioritizes addressing people's needs & gives ALL an opportunity to thrive. To do so, we must prioritize truly affordable & dignified permanent housing FIRST! #AffordableFirst
Whether buildings burn down due to neglect or are demolished for profits, Mayor Breed's current streamlining legislation will continue rewarding those who profit off displacement.
It's time for the City to put #AffordableFirst as tenants demand!
