Powerful op-ed in the @sfchronicle.com today from D9 Neighbors member Caroline McCormack! "I live in Bernal Heights. Mayor Lurie, please upzone my neighborhood." www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...
I live in Bernal Heights. Mayor Lurie, please upzone my neighborhood
We can build new housing that supports our low-income and working-class neighbors, while also preserving the special character that Bernal Heights has to offer.

A group of Bernal Heights homeowners had an unusual request at Thursday’s upzoning hearing: Upzone us, they pleaded.

“Let's share the responsibility for welcoming new residents across the city,” one said.

‘Upzone us!’ say YIMBY Bernal Heights homeowners at S.F. housing hearing
“Bernal is well resourced. The average home price is $1.5 million and it has excellent transit access. But it has built very little housing.”

Massive props to my friends at @d9neighbors.bsky.social who absolutely crushed it today at Public Comment and made an impact on the Planning Commissioners when asking to get Bernal Heights included in the SF upzoning proposals:

#15, Ted Getten, Bernal rolling strong again 💪 here in support to point out this is a strong first step and we can do more to include Bernal. It’s got 4 major parks, a vibrant Cortland and more, but we have not done our part in Bernal. Let’s welcome more neighbors to San Francisco
