Letter sent to Mayor Lurie, LUTC & the Planning Commission:
​
"November 14, 2025
Dear Mayor Lurie,
​
SON-SF ~ Save Our Neighborhoods SF were very disappointed in the most recent appointment of Isabella “Beya” Alcaraz especially in-light of all the negative issues surrounding her business & personal life. But we are pleased that she resigned at your request!
However, this once again leaves District 4 with NO representation where the community didn’t have any input.
​
We would like to recommend that a Town Hall be held ASAP & all constituents should be invited to discuss this matter & make comment.
​
Furthermore, regarding the vote on November 17th at the Land Use & Transportation Committee Hearing, we feel because D4 once again has no representation to submit suggested Amendments from our constituents regarding the Family Zoning Plan, it’s necessary & appropriate to postpone this hearing & others until we have an Interim D4 Supervisor to voice our needs & concerns.
Sincerely,
SON-SF ~ Save Our Neighborhoods SF"

Support Critical Amendments
At this hearing, community groups, small businesses, tenant and affordable housing advocates are all urging residents to support the Supervisor Chan and Chen amendments, which would help protect vulnerable tenants and built-out, successful neighborhoods that make our city world-class. Their proposals ensure that our City’s housing plan:
-
Protects sound housing from demolition and tenant and small business displacement.
-
Preserves historic and cultural resources, including legacy businesses and neighborhood landmarks.
-
Safeguards the shoreline and environmentally sensitive areas from overdevelopment.
-
Prioritizes housing for working families and the local workforce, not luxury towers built for speculation.
These are reasonable, state- compliant, community-based changes that align with San Francisco’s real housing needs, not the inflated capacity targets being pushed by the state and development lobby.
Require State Housing Department Attend Hearing
Neighborhoods United SF is requesting that our elected leaders ensure the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) attend these upcoming upzoning hearing.
HCD is the state agency that ultimately decides whether our housing plan is “in compliance.” It’s essential that Supervisors and the public hear directly from them:
-
How are these capacity numbers determined?
-
Why did the City’s plan jump from roughly 140,000 units under Mayor Breed to over 800,000 under Mayor Lurie?
-
If this plan now covers 50 years, does that exempt San Francisco from future RHNA mandates?
-
How does SB 79 interact with or differ from San Francisco’s upzoning proposal? How are these overlapping mechanisms being reconciled to avoid double-counting or inflating capacity figures beyond any realistic need? Will any capacity generated from SB 79 apply to our current RHNA mandate?
We encourage everyone to attend to urge support for Supervisor Chan’s and Chen's amendments and to demand transparency from HCD.
