Non-profit affordable housing is effectively illegal in almost 80% of San Francisco. If I’m elected, I will introduce legislation to legalize deeply affordable housing everywhere in San Francisco.

Woah. I’m only a few sentences in but the thesis seems to be “I was a YIMBY when I thought their goal was to build housing [somewhere else] but I recently found out they want to build housing in my single family neighborhood.” 😂

I met a Republican that is running for public office on the peninsula today. After talking about why the free market is good and regulation is bad he complained that SB 50 was more regulation, from the state, on the cities. So, there you go.
