In July, 86% of middle-income families reported having difficulty meeting a basic need, according to the RAPID survey. A higher percentage of parents in rural areas faced material hardship (93%) than parents in urban and suburban areas (72%).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A separate RAPID survey found that an increasing number of \u003ca href=\"https://rapidsurveyproject.com/article/hunger-is-increasing-among-those-who-provide-care-to-young-children/\">child care providers nationwide are experiencing hunger.\u003c/a> Nearly 45% of child care providers reported experiencing hunger between June 2021 and May of this year.

The Stanford Center on Early Childhood recently \u003ca href=\"https://rapidsurveyproject.com/article/three-years-of-california-parent-voices-show-families-struggle-to-meet-basic-needs-and-experience-emotional-distress-as-a-result/\">reported\u003c/a> that three in four California families with young children can’t cover at least one basic need, such as food, housing, utilities, child care or health care — the highest level of families experiencing material hardship since the center began its RAPID survey in 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The findings come on the heels of a report from Tipping Point Community that the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12064764/how-a-surge-in-bay-area-poverty-wiped-out-a-decade-of-progress\">Bay Area’s poverty rate climbed \u003c/a>over 4 percentage points after a decade of steady decline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s not just low-income families who are feeling the pinch. In July, 86% of middle-income families reported having difficulty meeting a basic need, according to the RAPID survey. A higher percentage of parents in rural areas faced material hardship (93%) than parents in urban and suburban areas (72%).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A separate RAPID survey found that an increasing number of \u003ca href=\"https://rapidsurveyproject.com/article/hunger-is-increasing-among-those-who-provide-care-to-young-children/\">child care providers nationwide are experiencing hunger.\u003c/a> Nearly 45% of child care providers reported experiencing hunger between June 2021 and May of this year. The figure jumped to 58% in June — the highest level in four years of the survey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents of young kids are often first to experience economic strain because they’re in the most expensive phase of life, said Abigail Stewart-Kahn, managing director of the Stanford Center on Early Childhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12065182\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/251120-FAMILIESFINANCIALINSECURITY-07-BL-KQED.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12065182\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/251120-FAMILIESFINANCIALINSECURITY-07-BL-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/251120-FAMILIESFINANCIALINSECURITY-07-BL-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/251120-FAMILIESFINANCIALINSECURITY-07-BL-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/251120-FAMILIESFINANCIALINSECURITY-07-BL-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yolanda Monroe picks up items at a food distribution event hosted by Trybe at San Antonio Park in Oakland on Nov. 20, 2025. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“They’re usually earlier in their career — perhaps earning less as a result — their costs are higher because they have to pay for child care or stay home to provide it themselves,” she said. “There’s no public school system to take care of their children yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A majority of the parents surveyed said they experienced elevated levels of anxiety, depression and stress.

She said that educators pay about $650 per pay cycle for coverage for one child. In January, coverage for two will be more than $1500, she said.[aside postID=news_12064366 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250818-SFUSDFIRSTDAY-04-KQED.jpg']While any health care or workload model deal would likely incur costs, the union’s final two major demands are “low-to-no-cost.” They’re asking to add language to the educators contract that echoes the district’s sanctuary status and commits to using district resources to provide shelter for the most vulnerable students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district already has that language and employs it in school policy, but Curiel said members feel it’s necessary to add it to their contracts because it makes it much more difficult to reverse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We see what happened to our nation during the last election cycle … when folks changed an administration that then changed policy entirely,” Curiel said. “If it’s in our contract, they absolutely cannot do that without the entire union agreeing to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The 6,000 members of UESF hold these values very deeply and want to maintain them. The district insists it doesn’t want to put it in the contract, and we know they can and they absolutely should,” she continued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district did not respond to a request for comment regarding the language demands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UESF has requested to be released from mediation. If that request is granted, the district and union would enter a final third-party-led “fact-finding” period to try to reach an agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The strike authorization vote will happen in parallel.

Local landmarks are also exempt from the upzoning plan, after an amendment was adopted into the plan in November. The plan also offers developers incentives, such as additional square footage and code flexibility, for projects that reuse and preserve historic structures that cannot be demolished.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How long has this been in the works? How did the city collect feedback?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The target of 80,000+ units originated from the city’s housing element process, which started around 2019. The Association of Bay Area Governments, the regional planning agency for the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area, determined the final allocation in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2023, the city has \u003ca href=\"https://sfplanning.org/sites/default/files/documents/citywide/housing-choice/housingchoice_community_engagement_summary.pdf\">gathered community feedback\u003c/a> on the plan through public meetings, one-on-one interviews, online forums and surveys, focus groups and other in-person and remote workshops.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Will this plan ACTUALLY lead to more housing?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The ultimate aim of the rezoning plan is to make way for thousands of additional housing units. The plan, however, does not include any specific development plans or blueprints. By loosening height and density regulations, the plan’s authors assume that developers will have more flexibility to build in areas that currently restrict development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Due to financial and economic uncertainty, estimates for how much housing might actually result from the zoning changes vary. The Planning Department estimates that the plan could realistically open up to 19,000 units; however, modeling from the city’s Chief Economist suggests that it could produce only around 14,600 units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12044983\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12044983\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/250618-NEWTEACHERHOUSING-14-BL-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/250618-NEWTEACHERHOUSING-14-BL-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/250618-NEWTEACHERHOUSING-14-BL-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/250618-NEWTEACHERHOUSING-14-BL-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mayor Daniel Lurie alongside members of the team behind a new housing project during a groundbreaking ceremony in San Francisco on June 18, 2025.

Groups like Neighborhoods United SF have said the plan risks displacing lower-income residents and small businesses while lacking plans for financing affordable housing projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tension over the plan has echoed in community meetings and public hearings where residents have shared their support and concerns. It’s also been a major factor in the recent recall of former District 4 supervisor Joel Engardio, who supported the rezoning plan, and Lurie’s appointment of his replacement.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Has the city ever done this before?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Redevelopment is continuously shaping the cityscape. One major example is the urban renewal push beginning in the 1950s after President Harry Truman signed the 1949 Housing Act, which authorized reconstruction and demolition of primarily low-income neighborhoods and communities of color, such as the Fillmore in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Family Zoning Plan is one of the largest efforts to focus specifically on height and density rules in San Francisco since the 1978 Residential Rezoning, which put strict limits on development in nearly half of the city to preserve low-rise residential neighborhoods and single-family homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The plan, however, does not include any specific development plans or blueprints. By loosening height and density regulations, the plan’s authors assume that developers will have more flexibility to build in areas that currently restrict development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Due to financial and economic uncertainty, estimates for how much housing might actually result from the zoning changes vary. The Planning Department estimates that the plan could realistically open up to 19,000 units; however, modeling from the city’s Chief Economist suggests that it could produce only around 14,600 units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12044983\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12044983\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/250618-NEWTEACHERHOUSING-14-BL-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/250618-NEWTEACHERHOUSING-14-BL-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/250618-NEWTEACHERHOUSING-14-BL-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/250618-NEWTEACHERHOUSING-14-BL-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mayor Daniel Lurie alongside members of the team behind a new housing project during a groundbreaking ceremony in San Francisco on June 18, 2025.
