Rain or shine, we will stand with victims this Sunday at 5PM on the steps of City Hall at #WDoR2025
Showing up in solidarity at this event is deeply meaningful to victims. With many City leaders in attendance, your presence also shows that we demand change.

On this World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, remember that pickup trucks don't kill people by themselves, there's always a driver sitting behind the wheel #WDoR2025 @walksf.org @sfbike.org

Essentially, Chow told Lurie he supported the mayor's upzoning plan, then turned around and spoke at a rally against it. Then said he still "would take the supervisor position if it were offered." (via SF Standard)
![He was eyeing Albert Chow, a small business owner and big supporter of the Engardio recall, who got an interview and told Lurie’s team he would support the mayor’s Family Zoning Plan, according to a source familiar with the appointment process. But then Chow showed up at an Oct. 20 City Hall rally opposing the upzoning plan.
“Let's plan smarter, not denser for density sake,” Chow said to NIMBY cheers.
Chow says he didn’t really know what the composition of the gathering was going to be. “It was a much more progressive crowd there,” he told Power Play. “I didn’t realize that when I accepted [Supervisor Connie Chan’s] offer to go speak.”
Chow maintains that he supports Lurie’s zoning plan but wants it to be appropriate for a district comprising mainly single-family homes and is pushing for units with three or four bedrooms, along with parking mandates. “If we’re talking about Family Zoning, then let’s do this for families,” said Chow, adding that he would take the supervisor position if it were offered.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qnyq7wies2uc56bzqmfz4q25/bafkreig6jeuqsevd22ix6veqbeqohal7b3j6pu36rv4nugquhgylzzyv6u@jpeg)

Notably Lurie passed over Albert Chow, the NIMBY hardware store owner who played a major role in the recall (and accused the targeted supe of trying to bring a "different demographic" into Sunset). But precisely how Chow whiffed on the appointment is also hilarious.
