What was supposed to be a rally for Mayor Daniel Lurie’s proposal to boost housing in San Francisco turned into a shouting match on Thursday.
A well organized group of opponents hurled insults at nearly every speaker at Lurie’s event, much to the surprise and dismay of the mayor.
Lurie had scheduled an event on the steps of San Francisco City Hall to rally support for his “Family Zoning Plan.”
While about half the crowd came to support the mayor, the other half appeared bent on shouting him down over the proposal.
The mayor’s plan, if approved, would make multi-family homes like duplexes, triplexes and apartment buildings in parts of the city that are currently zoned only for single family homes.
The plan also reforms the city’s permitting process with the goal of green lighting about 36,000 new homes by 2031.
Lurie’s proposal could bring taller buildings to parts of the city, where current residents fiercely oppose them.
