GrowSF is the #1 voter guide in San Francisco, trusted by hundreds of thousands of San Franciscans. You deserve a city that works.

The SF budget is big. really big. Like bigger than 17 states big! And our per-capita spending is twice that of our peer cities!. And yes, for the budget nerds, we're only looking at combined city-and-counties, and even removed the enterprise departments.

Planning Commission Vice President Kathrin Moore earned up to $100K annually from Skidmore, Owings & Merrill — yet she voted to greenlight their projects, spurring calls for an ethics probe. City rules say she should have recused herself.

The criticism of ethnic studies at SFUSD has been a bit over the top. Here's the real story: the state requires it, and SFUSD is swapping its local, flawed, curriculum with one used in other districts. It'll foster critical, not political, thinking.

The Holy Grail of housing reforms was just passed in California. The age of Yes has dawned. More affordable homes are coming to a city near you. Thank you @CAgovernor, @BuffyWicks, and @Scott_Wiener!.

This is a huge win for the YIMBY movement, and for anyone who wants more affordable housing. Thank you, Governor Newsom @CAgovernor, Assemblymember Wicks @BuffyWicks, and Senator Wiener @Scott_Wiener!.
I just enacted the most game-changing housing reforms in recent California history. We're urgently embracing an abundance agenda by tearing down the barriers that have delayed new affordable housing and infrastructure for decades. Let’s get building, California.

Thank you Supervisor @bilalmahmood for repealing an outdated rule making it illegal for more than five unrelated people to share a home. Yep, our planning code defines what a family is and makes many living arrangements illegal unless you're blood related.

Prop 36 fixes what prop 47 broke: restoring accountability for repeat theft and drug crimes while expanding access to treatment. But Governor Newsom isn’t funding it. So we won’t get the safety and recovery we voted for.

Thanks to Prop A last November, San Francisco public school students are getting healthier meals – freshly prepared on-site each day, instead of shipped from a warehouse in Chicago. We visited the facility and met the team behind this incredible work.

In 2024, San Francisco had its deadliest year for traffic deaths since 2007. A new Civil Grand Jury report blames near-zero enforcement. Pedestrian safety is public safety. It’s time the city treated it that way.

We're super excited to welcome Sarah Dennis-Phillips as the new San Francisco Planning Director! She brings decades of planning and real estate experience to the job and takes the helm as SF is required by the state to build a LOT more homes.

SFUSD just announced a balanced budget, avoiding a state takeover. It made $114 million in cuts—its largest ever—without laying off any teachers. 84% of funds now go directly to schools, up from 75%. Big kudos to Superintendent Su for righting the ship!.

Interim SFPD Chief Paul Yep is making moves. He just promoted a dozen officers to the command staff, with some moving up two ranks.

Did you know San Francisco forces any business with more than 11 locations to get special approval in order to open? It can add a year and up to $100,000, with no guarantee of success. Here's how the formula retail ban hurts SF, and how we can fix it.
