Issue stances
Issue getting the most attention
Housing growth
Expand affordable and market-rate housing, legalize greater density along transit corridors, and reform ADU and co-living rules.
Convert approved housing into built housing through enforceable permitting timelines, transparent project tracking and accessibility standards.
Support additional housing, particularly permanently affordable and social housing, while favoring growth on transit-rich corridors and underused commercial sites.
Issue with the biggest divide
Housing funding
Direct transfer-tax revenue to affordable housing, tenant legal aid, and rental assistance while exempting new multifamily housing.
Use financing tools as part of converting approved housing into built housing.
Use social housing, citywide Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts, and community land trusts to finance housing production, paired with developer responsibility for community needs.
Transit reliability
Improve Muni and BART reliability, extend late-night and early-morning transit service, and support 2026 regional transit-tax measures.
Protect Muni service while requiring route-level schedule and headway reporting. Require equity analysis before eliminating vulnerable routes and seek a J Church engineering-study timeline.
Support Muni funding and service improvements, protected bicycle lanes, pedestrian infrastructure, traffic calming, Complete Streets, and Vision Zero projects.
Police staffing
Staff the police department fully, resource police, firefighters, and 311 teams, and reduce excessive police and sheriff overtime.
Implement police-overtime audit recommendations, expand non-police crisis response, and pair public-safety investments with oversight.
