PLATFORM

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

Accountability, equity & shared prosperity

Governing San Francisco's technology economy so growth creates public value and shared opportunity.

Establish a Public Return & Community Accountability Standard
Where the City has legal authority to negotiate additional benefits, pursue enforceable Community
Benefit Agreements or other legally authorized agreements covering:
  • Quality jobs and local hiring
  • Workforce development and paid apprenticeships
  • Affordable housing and anti-displacement
  • Infrastructure and environmental mitigation
  • Community investment
Make Technology Growth Work for San Francisco
Measure the success of San Francisco’s technology economy by:
  • Investment and company valuations
  • ​Jobs, wages, housing affordability, public revenues and costs
  • ​Workforce opportunity, and community benefits.
Protect Workers From AI-Driven Displacement
​Support policies that give workers and unions a meaningful voice when AI substantially changes jobs, working conditions, staffing, or job duties, consistent with applicable labor law and collective-bargaining requirements.Government should capture the productivity gains from AI as better public services—not simply fewer public employees.
Ban New Data Centers
Introduce and support legislation to permanently prohibit new data centers from being sited, permitted, constructed, or brought into operation anywhere in San Francisco. Data centers can create localized environmental impacts, including air pollution and significant noise from diesel backup generators, cooling systems, and other mechanical equipment. These impacts are particularly concerning when resource-intensive facilities are located near communities that have already experienced disproportionate environmental burdens.

Healthy, safe & connected communities

Our goal is simple: clean, safe, healthy, connected neighborhoods where people can live with dignity, access opportunity, know their neighbors, and feel confident that their City government—and their fellow District 10 residents—are working with them to build a stronger community.

Quality of Life

Quality of life is a core responsibility of local government. Residents should be able to count on clean streets, safe and well-maintained public spaces, reliable City services, vibrant neighborhood commercial corridors, and neighborhoods that feel cared for.

 

  • Make quality of life a top priority

  • Build complete neighborhoods

  • Activate vacant and underutilized properties

  • Strengthen commercial corridors

  • Minimize impacts of construction

  • Provide basic public amenities

Environmental Health & Justice

District 10 has carried disproportionate environmental burdens for generations—from industrial pollution and legacy contamination to poor air quality, heavy truck traffic, contaminated sites, and climate vulnerability.

Environmental justice means confronting these cumulative impacts and ensuring that new investment improves community health rather than adding to existing burdens.

 

  • Finish the Hunters Point Shipyard cleanup

  • Develop Community Air Quality Plan

  • Strengthen environmental remediation

  • Make environmental data accessible to residents

  • Build climate resilience without displacement

  • Center community leadership

Connected, Walkable & Transit Accessible Neighborhoods

Every resident should be able to safely walk, bike, or take transit to work, school, healthcare, parks, neighborhood businesses, and other essential destinations.

Transportation policy should strengthen connections within District 10 and to the rest of San Francisco.

 

  • Improve pedestrian safety

  • Improve traffic safety

  • Build family-friendly bicycle infrastructure

  • Improve Muni reliability and neighborhood connections

  • Strengthen Bayview Shuttle
