Save the San Francisco Mission.

As residents and taxpayers of San Francisco we respectfully request that you support David Campos Ordinance #150461 - Declaration of an emergency and a request for a temporary moratorium on market rate housing and PDR conversions in the designated area of District Nine.

We support:


1. A temporary moratorium on market rate development
2. A temporary moratorium on PDR demolition and conversions
3. Development of 100% affordable units during the moratorium

Why is this important?

San Francisco voters and concerned citizens demand that drastic actions be taken to protect our historical heritage and the cultural diversity that makes San Francisco unique.

Artists and cultural institutions are being phased out by high rents and illegal conversions of PDR spaces and taking the heart and soul of San Francisco with them.

We need to take time out from non-stop development to resolve the affordability issues, traffic and infrastructure problems, and plan for a brighter, more just and equitable future. This moratorium will allow us to rest and resolve some of these problems that were brought on by building too much too fast.

Planning Commissioners and other government administrators are overwhelmed and asking for tools that they can use to help resolve the problems. It is up to our elected officials to give them those tools, starting with this action.
