Opportunity for Everyone

    • Support Housing Now, not Housing First. Build enough shelter capacity to house all San Francisco residents who become homeless.

    • Expand Homeward Bound program to reunite individuals who’ve come from other cities (and who are now homeless in San Francisco) with their communities.

    • Reduce funding of harm reduction programs to meet specified emergency/bridge needs.

    • Enforce laws against public intoxication, drug use, and urban camping. Invest in compulsory treatment programs based on inpatient “campus” model with wraparound services and behavioral standards.

    • Lower threshold for mental health conservatorships.

    • Double the size of SFPD to 3,500 sworn officers to achieve parity with police-per-capita numbers in London, Paris, and other Western European cities.

    • Launch competitive Police for America program to recruit and train high-quality candidates to and for SFPD. In exchange for a five-year commitment and successful completion of a pre-academy training program during college, SFPD will pay off recruits’ undergraduate student loans.

    • Give the mayor sole authority to hire and fire the police chief.

    • Disband the Police Commission and replace it with a standards-enforcing, not policy-making, body.

    • Support challenges to lenient judges at the ballot box.

    • Support efforts to repeal Propositions 47 and 57, which make it more difficult to prosecute criminals.

    • “KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid.” Complexity, opacity, and bloat lead to corruption, waste, and a two-tiered system.

    • Cut the number of commissions by at least two thirds and transfer authority back to the mayor.

    • Add between two and four at-large seats to the Board of Supervisors.

    • Mandate independent audits under the City Charter.

    • Ban add-backs from the municipal budget.

    • Enforce the firewall between City contractors and elected officials.

    • Support market-based solutions to reduce the cost of housing and make it possible for the young and the working class to make San Francisco their home.

    • Eliminate height restrictions along major Muni Light Rail and BART corridors.

    • Eliminate discretionary review of new residential developments that meet specified criteria (“by-right permitting”).

    • Mandate Planning Commission decisions on all new residential developments within one year of completed application.

    • Allow increased residential development on commercial-zoned parcels, as well as industrial and production, distribution, and repair districts.

    • Pass a Standard Environmental Requirements Ordinance to dramatically increase the number of new residential developments categorically exempt under CEQA.

    • Incentivize office-to-residence conversions and revitalize downtown with university partnerships.

    • Civic education, not political indoctrination. Bring back 8th grade algebra.

    • Preserve merit-based admissions to Lowell High School.

    • Empower teachers and administrators to enforce high behavioral and academic standards.

    • Encourage charter school innovation with the Portfolio Model.

    • Make school choice available to all San Francisco families by reallocating SFUSD’s budget to fund vouchers, in an amount at or above the level of current per-pupil spending and redeemable at any school within San Francisco, for every K-12 student in the city.

    • Build the Southern Crossing.

    • Implement alternating skip-stop service for high-traffic Muni bus routes.

    • Implement the M-Market Plan.

    • Lower parking costs, increase parking capacity, generate revenue, create walkable corridors, and increase foot traffic to local business by removing street-level parking spots and converting abundant, unused lots into City-owned and -operated parking structures and/or requiring transit corridor high-rise developments (see “Housing,” below) to include parking garages on floors above street level.

    • Fight extortionary practices by eliminating discretionary review of new business applications that meet specified criteria (“by-right permitting”).

    • Concentrate all permitting and approvals for new small businesses in a single application and mandate approval within 90 days of completed submission.

    • Repeal Proposition C (2018), a poorly designed tax increase that caused multiple large employers to flee the city.
