Maxwell’s Housing Agenda Sacrifices Tenants San Francisco Supervisor Sophie Maxwell will be easily re-elected on November 7. Maxwell pledged in 2001 to help preserve the city’s economic and racial diversity, but has increasingly moved to undermine this goal.

Maxwell is also urging her colleagues to kill Angelo S...

Why Aimee Allison Matters Every couple of years, progressives are faced with the terrifying possibility that we might actually win. I didn't live in San Francisco when Matt Gonzalez almost won his race for Mayor, but I know that across the country good lefties indulged in a guilty game of "what if." What if we actually had the opportunity to lead? For Gonzalez, the help came too little, too late. He fell just short, and the race begged the question: If the next opportunity was right in our own backyard, would we know ...

Preserving Queer Culture in District 8 “Affordable housing” has emerged as a key issue in the District 8 race for supervisor, and it’s appropriate that it has. But I believe there’s an even more crucial issue: the survival of the Castro as a center of queer culture. No one can deny that the world’s most infamous queer ghetto has changed a lot since Harvey Milk called it home. Back then, it was undeniably a place where queers gathered from all over the country. They were refugees from the American Dream. The Castro afforded them a ...
