I made a zoning map of SF yesterday. A lot of our city is sprawl, too: one house, one driveway, one garage per lot. https://dcpos.ch/yimby/zoning https://dcpos

We can get two birds with a stone by building housing: make our city more walkable and beautiful, and also alleviate the housing shortage .
Want to support infill, upzoning, and want to beat the NIMBYs? Consider joining SF Yimby.
It's a small group of ppl who care a lot about this, they're smart and effective, and many of these local issues are right on the bubble around 50% support in low turnout elections. This means, with a bit of activism, you can swing the outcome.
- who_is_firing 10y agoThis is awesome. I'd like to support yimby efforts. Do you have a link where I can see how I can contribute as developer?
- cwsmith17 10y agoTheir website is SFYIMBY.org. I work for another organization that does similar work called the San Francisco Housing Action Coalition. There are plenty of pro-housing organizers in San Francisco if you're willing to get plugged in and volunteer.

- nshelly 10y agoI'd also recommend joining the efforts to put "split roll" (removing the Prop 13 restrictions for commercial property) on the ballot in 2020. The biggest turnouts are in presidential election years and there should be an electrified voter base then. Zoning is often favored by well-heeled incumbents, many who get a free ride on new homeowners, and with a stable tax base cities can begin to invest again in more infrastructure, schools, parks, etc. https://www.facebook.com/MakeItFairCA/videos/1641088839470558/ https://www.facebook.com/MakeItFairCA/videos/164108883947055...
