Thanksgiving is almost here. I hope everyone has a restful few days lined up with your given or chosen family. It's a great time to take stock of all we've accomplished this year. I'm personally thankful for the hard work of all of you to show up for housing. Because of all of our great advocacy, we're seeing some real change in San Francisco.

For example, thanks to tireless advocacy for state bills like Buffy Wicks's AB2011, we're seeing a proposal for 672 new homes next to Salesforce Park. Thanks for our watchdogs staying on top of the Housing Element, the state is watching to make sure we don't miss deadlines and we actually implement it.

That's all because of you! Let's close out the year strong and make 2024 an even better year for housing!
