Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin Statement on Mayoral Veto of Historic Districts Adaptive Reuse Legislation 

“We can be both pro-neighborhood and pro-housing – period. I just spent the better part of the past year leading a successful $300 million bond effort to build the kind of affordable housing we need to keep teachers, nurses, first responders, and working families in San Francisco. I will continue to champion affordable housing for our families that improves our neighborhoods – not a wall on the waterfront made up of luxury second and third homes. The Historic Districts Adaptive Reuse legislation was crafted with the Mayor’s Planning Department and the City Attorney’s Office, and approved unanimously by the Planning Commission. Instead of outsourcing housing decisions to developers so they can maximize profit, as the Mayor is doing, we need to build housing our working families can afford while improving the neighborhoods they live in. We don’t have to destroy San Francisco to save it.”
