Neither @JackieFielder_ nor @Scott_Wiener are talking about a SERIOUS plan to flatten the geography of SF.
Our plan ELIMINATES height discrepancies of over 10 meters AND creates jobs. #winwin #paysforitself #flattenSF

San Francisco is one of the wealthiest and most innovative cities in the world, and we turn a blind eye to our crumbling education system.
We cannot blame Republicans for this failure. There are none in elected local office.
Imagine being Dean Preston and saying “actions matter more than words” with a straight face

Groups like @GrowSF make it seem like they’re helping.
But under the surface, it’s hill-toppers pushing job creation and more housing.
This is not what working people in SF really need.
We commit ourselves to literally leveling the playing field.

We all know hills drive inequality.
But they also limit perspective. If you live at the top of PacHeights, you have no idea what’s happening down the hill from you.
This causes a vicious feedback loop, and needs to change. Now.
Woke up this morning to a generous donation from @rabois, which BY ITSELF gets us half the way to funding our ballot initiative.
So grateful for his philanthropic drive to make SF a more equitable place 🙏🙏🙏
📣 What do we want?
🗣 A FLATTER, MORE EQUITABLE CITY
📣 When do we want it?
🗣 AFTER A BALLOT RESOLUTION PROCESS THAT INCORPORATES DIVERSE FEEDBACK FROM LOW-ELEVATION COMMUNITIES
To everyone messaging us about affordability - we address this on our internet “site” flattensf.org
Modest tax increase + federal subsidies + tax benefits from new jobs MORE than cover the cost of the project

The one thing that makes Manhattan so much more walkable compared to SF is the flatness. You can walk anywhere easily. I don't miss the hills one bit.

Hills are nature's highrises, and we know that highrises are bad and ruin neighborhood character.
Imagine SF without hilltop mansions
This is our mission
@DeanPreston understands
Leveling affluent neighborhoods, and building a flatter, more equal San Francisco, isn’t extreme.
Ignoring the data that hills cause inequality is.
Time to face the facts and *do something*
Tech VCs don’t believe in us because we are threatening their “elevated” status
Billionaires like @andrew__reed @andrewchen @shl @hunterwalk @naval @jason don’t want to hear what we are saying, and won’t put a cent behind supporting us because they *want* hills
We spend so much money as a city
Shouldn’t we demand a more equitable geography?
Why is it that only millionaire “tech VCs” can afford nice “views”
Why is it that the rest of us live beneath them (literally and figuratively)
More needs to be done
