Epic legislation-author, completely unafraid of MAGA, & the elected official you’re most likely to run into on transit or at a block party in SF. Excited to see what @scottwiener.bsky.social can do in DC!

Scott has been unwavering in his commitment to building more housing, the YIMBY movement's most important champion in elected office, and we stand with the leader who has stood with us from the beginning. As the YIMBY movement goes nationwide, we can't think of a better champion in Washington.

Highlights, continued:

SB 423: permanently codified SB 35 and added provisions to make it stronger

SB 79: his most recent achievement, legalized multi-family housing near major transit hubs throughout the state

Highlights of his record include:

SB 35: removed needless roadblocks and sped up the production thousands of affordable homes across California

SB 828: reformed state planning law and actually provided a real path to require San Francisco to produce the homes it desperately needs

In his nine years as a State Senator, Scott has worked tirelessly on impactful legislation that has ignited the YIMBY movement nationwide and inspired countless other legislators throughout the country. We have no doubt he can have the same impact in Congress.

SF YIMBY is proud to endorse @scottwiener.bsky.social in his historic Congressional bid! The YIMBY movement would not be anywhere near where it is today if not for the work and influence of Scott Wiener.

It is very important that pro housing folks show up and show out to support the big rezoning. This has been a decade in the making and we are almost there.

So far, the closure hasn’t created the kind of congestion apocalypse opponents warned of, according to a Chronicle analysis of traffic data. Meanwhile, the park is immensely popular – and will only become more so as the next generation of city residents grows up enjoying its amenities.

This burgeoning popularity is already creating economic benefits for many small businesses in the district β€” which are receiving increased foot traffic β€” and for the city’s moribund general fund.

San Francisco needs politicians who are empowered to take big swings on broadly popular and beneficial citywide initiatives like Sunset Dunes. The Engardio recall, regardless of its outcome, is destined to have a chilling effect on bold moves unless broader structural changes are implemented.

Treasure Island Walking Tour Join SF YIMBY for a walking tour of Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island, where we’ll explore the past, present, and future of one of San Francisco’s most ambitious housing and infrastructure projects. The tour will kick off at 11 am sharp from the Treasure Island Ferry Terminal, which should align well with the arrival times for both the Treasure Island Ferry from downtown SF, and the Muni 25 bus. We’ll begin with a walk up Yerba Buena’s hillsideβ€”those up for the climb will be rewarded with sweeping views and a discussion of the island’s unique geography, history, and infrastructure. (Prefer to skip the hill? You’re welcome to check out the museum in historic Building 1 instead.) From there, we’ll walk through the heart of the redevelopment area, stopping at key sites like Isle House for a rooftop break and discussion of progress to date, and continuing on to Island Cove Market. Along the way, we’ll talk transportation, parks, and how thousands of new homes are reshaping this i

Let’s Get Housing Moving in Hayes Valley! Right now, almost nothing is getting built in the Market & Octavia area β€” and that means we’re not getting new homes, new neighbors, or more activity in our neighborhoods. Why? Extra local fees make it too expensive to build. These outdated fees are stopping more than 2,500 approved homes from moving forward. It doesn’t make sense: if nothing is getting built, the city can't collect the money from these fees. What will help bring more homes to the area? Let’s sunset these extra fees given today’s market realities. In exchange, we’ll finally get new homes, support local businesses, bring more foot traffic and activity, and create safer, more vibrant neighborhoods. Let's collect citywide fees (like inclusionary housing and transit fees) AND build housing. What can you do? Sign your name to support sunsetting these fees and help unlock housing to Hayes Valley!
