Rally for Homeownership - Wednesday, April 26th

From an SFSOS email today,

Next Wednesday, April 26th, at 1 p.m., the Board of Supervisors Land Use and Economic Development Committee will hear legislation from Supervisor Aaron Peskin that will prevent any building removed from the market via the Ellis Act or owner move-in from ever being eligible for the condo conversion lottery if even a single senior or "disabled" person was previously in the building. 

This is another in a long line of attacks on one of the few attainable means of owning a home in San Francisco. Only the very rich can afford the more than $760,000 median home price in our City. Without the availability of condominium conversions providing homeownership options below that rate, middle class families will continue their flight out of San Francisco, leaving a vacuum of teachers, nurses, police and firefighters, creative professionals and countless other mainstream citizens who are neither the subsidized poor nor the fortunate rich. 

Can you attend Wednesday’s meeting and a rally beforehand? RSVP to our Field Director Ryan Chamberlain at ryan@sfsos.org if you can attend to show the Supervisors and the press that there is significant opposition to this bill. We will meet at City Hall prior to the 1pm meeting. We expect he matter to be heard in committee around 2:00 pm. We will give all participants specific details upon your reply.
