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.

But the honeymoon period appears to have ended with \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12064108/mayor-daniel-luries-pick-for-sunset-supervisor-resigns-after-1-week\">the abrupt resignation of the supervisor\u003c/a> he appointed — a shift that could complicate his relationship with residents on the city’s westside and his own political agenda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The sophomore slump has officially started,” David Ho, a political consultant, said. “He’s entering this period where he’s going to struggle to maintain the confidence of the voters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lurie carried the westside and did well among Sunset District voters in his own 2024 election. And he has weathered several challenges as mayor so far, including passing a controversial budget earlier this year and, more recently, successfully averting a federal immigration crackdown in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the fallout over his recent District 4 appointment to the Board of Supervisors, Beya Alcaraz, marked a major misstep. The 29-year-old with no prior experience in government was not active in community organizing and was relatively unknown in the neighborhood and City Hall when the mayor picked her to replace recalled supervisor Joel Engardio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lurie said he chose Alcaraz because of her grit and small business background, plus her connection to the neighborhood. He knew she lacked the chops of a career politician, but she also didn’t come with political baggage — and had stated she would support his controversial family zoning plan, one of his chief agenda items. She was also a choice that initially appeased pro-recall voters when she agreed to revisit whether cars could be allowed back on the Great Highway — a flashpoint in the recall campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12063247\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12063247\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/20251106_SFD4SUPERVISOR_GC-21-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/20251106_SFD4SUPERVISOR_GC-21-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/20251106_SFD4SUPERVISOR_GC-21-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/20251106_SFD4SUPERVISOR_GC-21-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Isabella “Beya” Alcaraz, left, shakes a supporter’s hand, following the announcement of her as the next District 4 supervisor, representing the Sunset district, at Ortega Branch Library on Nov. 6, 2025. \u003ccite>(Gina Castro for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>What Lurie’s team failed to get ahead of, however, was that Alcaraz also apparently misrepresented her business background. Shortly after her appointment, numerous news outlets reported her former pet shop was left in unsanitary conditions after she passed it over to a new owner in 2025, and \u003cem>Mission Local\u003c/em> first reported that she admitted to paying workers under the table to skirt taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In choosing Alcaraz, Lurie “made a decision to do something which he hasn’t done yet in his tenure, which was to go off script,” said Patrick Murphy, a professor of public affairs at the University of San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lurie has taken full credit for the botched pick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not the first time that I have gotten something wrong.

Lurie, an heir to the Levi Strauss fortune, comes from a well-connected family and has experience running a major nonprofit, Tipping Point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He showed serious political chops after steering President Donald Trump clear of sending the National Guard to San Francisco, leveraging close ties to powerful tech billionaires to sway the commander in chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s largely stayed out of political tiffs. Lurie did not endorse Engardio in the recall, for example, and has avoided ever mentioning Trump’s name publicly.

But the honeymoon period appears to have ended with \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12064108/mayor-daniel-luries-pick-for-sunset-supervisor-resigns-after-1-week\">the abrupt resignation of the supervisor\u003c/a> he appointed — a shift that could complicate his relationship with residents on the city’s westside and his own political agenda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The sophomore slump has officially started,” David Ho, a political consultant, said. “He’s entering this period where he’s going to struggle to maintain the confidence of the voters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lurie carried the westside and did well among Sunset District voters in his own 2024 election. And he has weathered several challenges as mayor so far, including passing a controversial budget earlier this year and, more recently, successfully averting a federal immigration crackdown in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He knew she lacked the chops of a career politician, but she also didn’t come with political baggage — and had stated she would support his controversial family zoning plan, one of his chief agenda items. She was also a choice that initially appeased pro-recall voters when she agreed to revisit whether cars could be allowed back on the Great Highway — a flashpoint in the recall campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12063247\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12063247\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/20251106_SFD4SUPERVISOR_GC-21-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/20251106_SFD4SUPERVISOR_GC-21-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/20251106_SFD4SUPERVISOR_GC-21-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/20251106_SFD4SUPERVISOR_GC-21-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Isabella “Beya” Alcaraz, left, shakes a supporter’s hand, following the announcement of her as the next District 4 supervisor, representing the Sunset district, at Ortega Branch Library on Nov. 6, 2025. \u003ccite>(Gina Castro for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>What Lurie’s team failed to get ahead of, however, was that Alcaraz also apparently misrepresented her business background.
