John,

It's been a true honor to serve as your District 5 Supervisor at City Hall, and I will always cherish this experience. Thank you.



Once again, I'd like to express my thanks to my wonderful team, my Aides Juan Carlos, Derek, Shakirah and Caleb, our D5 interns, my City colleagues, and all District 5 residents. Though my time as your representative at City Hall ended yesterday, I will absolutely continue to work alongside all of you to advocate for our entire community and to ensure everyone has an opportunity to thrive in San Francisco. This is my life's work.

For over a year, we've worked tirelessly together for our beloved city and our neighborhoods. I'm incredibly proud of everything we've accomplished. In my 16 months in office, we passed over 31 pieces of legislation unanimously, tackling some of our toughest issues head-on. We created the first navigation center and safe parking program for people living out of their cars and RVs and legislated to build hundreds of new apartments on Divisadero, increasing affordable housing requirements to mandate that between 20% and 23% of all future apartments be affordable. We started San Francisco's first Office of Racial Equity, prohibited retail stores from not accepting cash, and stood up for women's rights by putting an end to City business with states that ban abortion. We passed legislation to streamline small business permitting, and we moved San Francisco towards a clean power future by mandating 100% renewable energy in our largest commercial buildings by introducing groundbreaking legislation to end natural gas use in all new municipal construction. And through it all, we always did our utmost to make your calls and emails, your hopes and concerns, our highest priority.

In the same vein of working together on the issues that matter most, as I depart, I'm sharing my District 5 Housing Opportunities Report. <[link removed]> This groundbreaking report will provide a common framework and comprehensive look at housing development opportunities throughout District 5. I have worked on this report since taking office, and I am proud to finally be releasing it.

Look after one another, stay involved in your neighborhood, and don't forget that even small acts like sweeping up on your block helps build a stronger District 5.

I'll see you in the neighborhood!


Always,



Supervisor Vallie Brown
