This Thursday, the SF Planning Commission will hold a hearing on the Draft Environmental Impact Report for the the city's upcoming eight-year housing plan, called the 2022 housing element. However, the Planning Department has written an alarming environmental impact report that acts like building more homes is a bad thing in San Francisco:

• The report only plans for SF to accommodate 50,000 new homes by 2050, even though the state government needs San Francisco to show how it will allow over 82,000 new homes to be built by 2031.
• The report claims that doing nothing would be the "environmentally superior" alternative to building more homes, even as climate scientists agree that infill housing is necessary to avert a climate catastrophe.

Please take 1 minute (it'll be super fast) to send a pre-filled letter. You'll be automatically assigned to a template from a few different options.

For full details, UC Davis Professor Chris Elmendorf has written an exhaustive list of concerns in a public letter to the city.

And please attend the hearing on Thursday, June 9, by calling in. The item is 11th on the agenda. You can give public comment using phone number 415-655-0001, and using access code 2491 857 6550.
