Build, Preserve, Finance
Housing stability, affordability, and community wealth for District 10
A record of delivering. As CEO of Young Community Developers, DJ delivered 400 China Basin and 350 Friedell Street and won development rights for six more projects — more than 1,100 units of 100% affordable housing.
BUILD — on the land that displaces no one
-
Deliver the nearly 20,000 homes already in the District 10 pipeline— Pier 70, Potrero Power Station, Candlestick Point, and India Basin
-
Prioritize vacant and underused parcels, public land, transit-rich sites, and commercial corridors — including along 3rd Street
-
Eliminate duplicative steps in the approval process and shorten timelines without lowering safety, labor, or accessibility standards
-
Pursue "use it or lose it" policies so approvals produce homes, not resale value and speculation
PRESERVE — where people already live
-
Protect rent control, defend just-cause eviction protections, and fully fund eviction defense
-
Oppose unnecessary demolition of rent-controlled homes; expand nonprofit acquisition and rehabilitation
-
Hold corporate landlords accountable — Alice Griffith residents were promised safe homes and got a rodent infestation instead
-
Bring the Small Sites Program to District 10, which has never had an acquisition
FINANCE — what the market won't build
-
Increase local investment: every $1 from the City unlocks roughly $2 from state, federal, and private sources
-
Prioritize deeply affordable housing, including households at 30% AMI and below
-
Fully implement WHAMI revenue bonds and establish a San Francisco Public Bank
-
Expand workforce housing for teachers, nurses, first responders, transit operators, and construction workers
