The report could add another hurdle for the housing proposal, which has already been a major test for Mayor Daniel Lurie, who had never served in public office before this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report suggests that Lurie’s Family Zoning Plan could lead to a “significant increase in the city’s housing supply.” But even optimistic modeling projected only about 14,600 new units, due to construction costs and the plan’s dependency on market conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The context for housing development in San Francisco has changed profoundly in the past several years,” the report read.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nevertheless, under both scenarios considered in this report, the proposed rezoning would lead to a significant increase in the city’s housing supply, and have broadly positive effects on housing prices and the city’s broader economy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s Office of Economic Analysis reviews all new legislation introduced at the board and will report on its economic effects if it’s determined to have a significant impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12062183\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12062183 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/240214-CoastalCommission-56-BL_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/240214-CoastalCommission-56-BL_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/240214-CoastalCommission-56-BL_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/240214-CoastalCommission-56-BL_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Houses line Lawton Street in San Francisco’s Sunset District on Feb. 14, 2024. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Family Zoning Plan increases citywide capacity for about 39,000 additional homes, meeting the state target of 36,200 units in the city’s more residential \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12057448/on-sfs-west-side-a-push-to-protect-historic-landmarks-amid-plans-for-more-housing\">western\u003c/a> and northern neighborhoods.

Do they continue on an upward trajectory?” he said. “Even if costs continue to move in an upward fashion or stay elevated, that may not matter if developers are able to recapture that via rents or if their condos are for-sale units via higher home prices. So I think that’s really the equation to think about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report notes that the amount of housing that will be produced as a result of rezoning, and its economic impact on the city, depends on the future housing market conditions, creating uncertainty in the projections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If market conditions were such that the 36,000 unit target was achieved, as a result of the rezoning, the economic impact on the city would likely be significantly more positive than the estimates in this report,” it read.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s Planning Commission approved the city’s zoning plan in September. In the weeks since, supervisors have put forward amendments, including to prohibit demolition of buildings with more than two rent-controlled units and to incentivize developers to replace lost commercial space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those amendments were not included in the city economist’s latest report, but could lower the housing production projections even more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As for the amendments, some are improvements, but they do not go far enough to protect tenants, small businesses, or neighborhood-serving corridors,” Brooks, of Neighborhoods United SF, said. “A responsible housing plan must balance production with protection and preservation. This one does not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Although Trump backed off a surge last week, city leaders underscored that federal agents, such as ICE, are still active in the Bay Area.

In 2018, he managed the upstart congressional campaign of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who unexpectedly defeated incumbent New York Democrat Rep. Joe Crowley. He later served as Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff in the House, helping draft the Green New Deal.[aside postID=news_12033097 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/250326-SAIKAT-CHAKRABARTI-ON-PB-MD-01-KQED-1.jpg']According to his \u003ca href=\"https://disclosures-clerk.house.gov/public_disc/financial-pdfs/2025/10063516.pdf\">economic disclosure form\u003c/a>, Chakrabarti, who officially launched his campaign against Pelosi earlier this year, is worth at least $167 million, much of it equity in Stripe, the payment processing company where he was a founding engineer. If elected, he would be one of the wealthiest members of Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener, who opened his congressional campaign committee last year, reported raising more than $1 million in his \u003ca href=\"https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00909283/\">most recent filing\u003c/a> with the Federal Election Commission, with $867,105 cash on hand at the end of September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By comparison, Chakrabarti’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.fec.gov/data/candidate/H6CA11219/\">FEC filing\u003c/a> shows total contributions of just under $1 million, about half from personal loans to his campaign. After spending on infrastructure, he reported $95,384 cash on hand and $755,000 in outstanding loans and debts. But given his net worth, he can presumably self-fund this campaign going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi, long one of the Democratic Party’s most prolific fundraisers, \u003ca href=\"https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00213512/\">reported contributions\u003c/a> of just over $2 million for 2025, including at least $450,000 transferred to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Chakrabarti has \u003ca href=\"https://www.saikat.us/en/blockthebombs\">aired ads\u003c/a> calling on Pelosi to support the bill, which has not passed out of committee. Interviewed this week, Wiener twice declined to say how he’d vote on H.R. 3565, but said, “I do not think that we should be selling offensive arms to Israel under this government or any government like it. We need to get a government that’s committed both to democracy and to peace and not to this devastation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Veteran San Francisco political consultant Eric Jaye said while he disagrees with many of Wiener’s policy positions, he acknowledges his effectiveness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Scott Wiener has been one of the most productive legislators we’ve ever seen in San Francisco, and in many respects he’s the Nancy Pelosi of his generation. He’s the Willie Brown of his generation. He’s the Phil Burton of his generation,” Jaye said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When this congressional seat became vacant after the death of Rep. Sala Burton, Pelosi received a deathbed endorsement from Burton’s widow but she was relatively unknown beyond Democratic Party insiders. More than a dozen people ran including four San Francisco supervisors. Jaye doubts there will be that kind of candidate stampede this time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(Pelosi) didn’t scare anybody out. Now, if it’s Wiener and Pelosi, I don’t think others will look at that and say, ‘I could beat one of those two,’” Jaye said. At the same time, he added that Pelosi “suffers from a suspicion that grew in the American electorate about octogenarian leaders, based on what happened with former President Biden.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, an open House seat is too enticing for politicians to ignore. Supervisor Connie Chan is reportedly considering a run. Pelosi’s daughter, Christine, has also considered running.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whoever enters the race, Jaye said, will face “a moment in San Francisco politics, California politics, national politics where voters are pretty frustrated with the slow pace of change. So it’s a very, very roiled political environment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Chakrabarti has \u003ca href=\"https://www.saikat.us/en/blockthebombs\">aired ads\u003c/a> calling on Pelosi to support the bill, which has not passed out of committee. Interviewed this week, Wiener twice declined to say how he’d vote on H.R. 3565, but said, “I do not think that we should be selling offensive arms to Israel under this government or any government like it. We need to get a government that’s committed both to democracy and to peace and not to this devastation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Veteran San Francisco political consultant Eric Jaye said while he disagrees with many of Wiener’s policy positions, he acknowledges his effectiveness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Scott Wiener has been one of the most productive legislators we’ve ever seen in San Francisco, and in many respects he’s the Nancy Pelosi of his generation. He’s the Willie Brown of his generation. He’s the Phil Burton of his generation,” Jaye said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When this congressional seat became vacant after the death of Rep. Sala Burton, Pelosi received a deathbed endorsement from Burton’s widow but she was relatively unknown beyond Democratic Party insiders. More than a dozen people ran including four San Francisco supervisors. Jaye doubts there will be that kind of candidate stampede this time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(Pelosi) didn’t scare anybody out. Now, if it’s Wiener and Pelosi, I don’t think others will look at that and say, ‘I could beat one of those two,’” Jaye said. At the same time, he added that Pelosi “suffers from a suspicion that grew in the American electorate about octogenarian leaders, based on what happened with former President Biden.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, an open House seat is too enticing for politicians to ignore. Supervisor Connie Chan is reportedly considering a run. Pelosi’s daughter, Christine, has also considered running.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whoever enters the race, Jaye said, will face “a moment in San Francisco politics, California politics, national politics where voters are pretty frustrated with the slow pace of change. So it’s a very, very roiled political environment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
