Prop D: YIMBY's *best chance* to advance outcomes for housing in San Francisco in 2022

Proposition D would be the first YIMBY ballot measure to pass in San Francisco, making housing easier, not harder, to build. We need Prop D to win big to show that San Franciscans want housing, and they don't want the BS that the Board of Supervisors is giving.

 

SF YIMBY Lead Annie Fryman breaks down how Prop D will remove NIMBY tactics to block housing out from our city's governing laws for the first time:

State Senator Scott Wiener said this last Saturday at our canvass event:

 

"Prop D is a choice between the housing fiasco status quo that we’ve created over the past 50 years, or a new system where housing is important, and we make it as easy as possible to build new housing."

Prop D’s best chance of winning is directly tied to YIMBYs talking to voters! Come canvass to meet pro-housing people and spread the word while having fun. Opportunities to talk to voters by group phone banking and virtual phone banking are included below, too.

Saturday: Irving Street Door Knocking and Block Party
