      <image:title>Blog - District 8 Newsletter  January 8, 2026 - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hello District 8! Happy New Year! This marks my final year on the Board of Supervisors, and there's still plenty of work ahead. Looking back at 2025, it was a busy and productive year for District 8. A New Era of Collaboration at City Hall The new Mayoral Administration brought a change in City Hall, one that feels more collaborative and less divisive. I have enjoyed working with Mayor Lurie and his administration as President of the Board and look forward to our continued partnership in 2026. This new collaborative spirit was essential to our success on major citywide issues, including passing a balanced budget, passing a historic upzoning bill even as we worked to protect historic buildings from demolition and long-term tenants from eviction, and responding to the challenges looming every day from Washington. District 8 Legislative Wins The District 8 office had some major legislative wins this year: Beyond the Front Door: In March, our Beyond the Front Door legislation, which replaces the outdated and overly complicated Accessible Business Entrance Program, passed the Board of Supervisors. The updated program removes a costly local inspection requirement that went beyond state and federal requirements, making it easier for small store owners to come into compliance with accessibility standards.   Department of Building Inspection (DBI) Amnesty: This summer, the Board passed my DBI Audit legislation, which creates a time-limited amnesty program for properties whose owners were unknowingly victims of a permitting scandal at the Department of Building Inspection. This provides financial relief to hundreds of such homeowners.   Open for Business Contract Streamlining Act: In September, this Act, the most comprehensive overhaul of San Francisco’s contracting process in decades, passed and was signed into law. This reform streamlines procurement rules, especially for low-value contracts (under $230,000). Nearly 50% of the city’s contract opportunities received zero or one bid, in part because of the complexity of our contracting rules. This legislation should lead to more competitive procurements and make it faster and easier for local small businesses and nonprofits to contract with the City.   All-Electric Major Renovations : Also in September, our All-Electric Major Renovations Ordinance passed unanimously. Expanding my 2020 legislation to cover "down to the studs" renovations, this measure is critical for reaching our Net Zero 2040 goals. With buildings generating nearly half our emissions, going electric improves indoor air quality and eliminates gas-related fire risks during earthquakes—building a safer, healthier San Francisco without the fuels of the past.   Looking Ahead to 2026 As I move into my final year on the Board, a major focus will be tackling some of the fundamental issues that bog down our City government. In December, the Mayor and I launched a comprehensive effort to reform our nearly 600-page City Charter, the rulebook for City government. And of course, I will continue to focus on behavioral health and homelessness— issues I have been tackling since I entered City Hall more than seven years ago. I look forward to continuing to serve District 8 and San Francisco over the next year!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>As we enter the holiday season, we encourage everyone in our community to stay mindful of personal safety while shopping, celebrating, and traveling. When shopping in stores or online, remain aware of your surroundings, keep personal belongings secure, and avoid leaving valuables visible in vehicles. If possible, shop with others, vary routines, and report any suspicious activity to police. With holiday gatherings and celebrations, we also remind everyone to celebrate responsibly. If you plan to drink alcohol, please do so in moderation and make safe transportation plans ahead of time, designate a sober driver, use rideshare services, or public transportation. Never drink and drive. At home, take simple steps to reduce risk by locking doors and windows, using lighting or timers when away, and keeping packages out of sight. Looking out for neighbors and checking in on one another also helps keep our community safe. We wish everyone a safe, healthy, and enjoyable holiday season. Thank you for continuing to partner with us to keep our neighborhoods safe. Captain Angela Wilhelm #716 Park Police Station 1899 Waller Street San Francisco, CA 94115 415.242.3000</image:caption>

Healthier, Cleaner, Quieter Communities Act: Starting January 1, 2026, the use of gas-powered landscaping equipment by professional landscapers, property owners, business owners, and the public is prohibited per San Francisco’s Healthier, Cleaner, Quieter Communities Act. City Departments and their contractors began complying with this ordinance on July 1, 2024. Making the switch from gas-powered to electric equipment landscaping equipment will reduce carbon emissions and air pollution as well as decrease the high noise levels associated with gas-powered equipment. More information is available at sfenvironment.org/landscaping. Heat Pump Water Heater Day!: Heat pump water heater installation training - Step 1 to TECH certification.

Last month, My All-Electric Major Renovations legislation passed the full Board of Supervisors and will go into effect starting July of 2026. The legislation builds on my earlier All-Electric New Construction Ordinance, requiring major renovation projects to transition to clean, all-electric systems. Nearly half of San Francisco’s emissions come from buildings, most from the combustion of natural gas—a fossil fuel that worsens the climate crisis, pollutes our air, and increases risks during earthquakes. By requiring outdated systems to be replaced with clean, all-electric alternatives during major renovations, this measure represents the most cost-effective way to transition existing buildings and move San Francisco closer to its goal of net zero emissions by 2040.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - District 8 May 2025 Newsletter - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Dear District 8 residents and friends, Five months into 2025, the year is flying by. Mayor Lurie hit his 100 days in office this last month, and I remain cautiously optimistic about the possibilities for San Francisco under his leadership. The collaborative approach of his administration and the new Board of Supervisors has changed the tone at City Hall. Let’s hope that spirit survives as we move into budget season facing a deficit of approximately $1 billion over the next two years. Mayor Lurie has been singularly and correctly focused on ridding some of San Francisco’s most challenged neighborhoods of the open-air drug scenes that have taken hold there. However, it has seemed to me, and I have heard from many of you, that that focus seems to have been accompanied by displacement of some problematic street behavior to other neighborhoods, including the Mission and Castro. I have raised these concerns with the Mayor and his team and my office will continue to work every day with our partners in the Police Department, Healthy Streets Operations Center and Department of Public Health to try to respond to the acute needs we are seeing on too many sidewalks and plazas in the District.   For more on what we were up to last month, read on. You can always reach us at mandelmanstaff@sfgov.org and (415) 554-6968, or you can stop by to visit us in our new office, Room 268 of City Hall. See you in the District! Cheers, Rafael</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Castro may be at a pivot point.  There are store vacancies, hang out characters and a worrisome atmosphere bought on by Washington’s anti-LGBT mood. Can the heart of the city’s--and maybe the country’s--human rights movement rise from a low point?  Nate Bourg, the newly chosen head of the Castro District Merchants, has another view.  The Castro Theater is moving ahead with renovations, possibly re-opening by year’s end.  The Rainbow Flag plaza is taking shape adjacent to the Harvey Milk Muni station.  A trans owned nightspot has opened and a women's sports bar is primed to debut. A historic neighborhood is showing fresh life. These are the mixed signals that he weighs.  “We are not super troubled, but we’re not thriving either,”  he says. “We’ve been a beacon of strength and tolerance. It’s critical” that the Castro survives, he added. His small business group, totaling 150 members, is a case in point. Older buildings can be hard to remodel for new uses, adding to start up costs. Street incidents and homeless encounters can chase away visitors. Empty storefronts plastered with fraying posters are another distraction.  “When you're a small business owner, you dread opening the mailbox and finding another invoice or fee. The pressure is always there,’’ he says. He is pushing for a change. More sidewalk police patrols are one answer. But he wants a more considered public view of the Castro. Crime and nuisance reports are overblown, he believes.   Business life is ever so slowly bouncing back from a Covid-era crash.   Bourg is the co-founder of the Academy, a Market street social club, where members gather for drinks, food and a social schedule that offers book clubs, arts talks and election season forums.  Founded in 2017, it’s grown to 500 members with guests invited to attend as well. For a neighborhood on the rebound, Bourg could be the right fit.  His calm-and-considered manner avoids the divisiveness often found in city politics. “Every problem we see comes with complications, be it homelessness or building codes. I like to think things through,” he says. The summer ahead could be a test of the Castro’s appeal, he thinks. Visitors may want to travel here to a stronghold of LGBT rights, or they could stay away, soured by a hard-right mood brought on by the White House. Locally, he hopes San Francisco won’t forget what the neighborhood has to offer as a dining and shopping spot.  “I don’t ever want this place to go away,’’ he says.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>LGBTQ historic sites among bevy that could be landmarked in District 8 The Bay Area Reporter, April 3 Mandelman said that he wants to recognize what should be preserved as more development comes to town now that restrictions on new housing are being eased on both the state and local levels. SF Mayor Lurie pledges ‘relentless’ focus on public safety goals to Castro on edge The Bay Area Reporter, April 3 Mandelman conceded, “I don’t think you can solve it with just the mayor and his detail breaking up these things.” Therefore, the SFPD will be making its presence known in the Castro in the coming weeks, sending in plainclothes and undercover officers, SFPD Sergeant Stephen Tacchini said. SF supervisors approve Castro Entertainment Zone The Bay Area Reporter, April 8 Mandelman, who represents the Castro as the District 8 supervisor, stated that he is "grateful to my colleagues for their unanimous support of the Castro Upper Market Entertainment Zone. The EZ should be a significant benefit for neighborhood bars and restaurants, especially during night market events and this fall at the Castro Street Fair. Now more than ever we need to support our local businesses and show the world that our gayborhood remains the best in the world." San Francisco politicians decry IRS sharing tax info with immigration authorities  KALW Public Media, April 15 Here’s Board of Supervisors President Rafael Mandelman: “This is not just a threat to undocumented immigrants. This is a threat to people with status, to people who have been here for decades and longer, to people who have green cards, to people who are applying for citizenship." SF to learn fate of state funding for more treatment beds San Francisco Examiner, April 22nd  “There may be an additional funding round for public-health beds, and there also may be a funding round for more homeless beds,” he said. “So conceivably there could be more Prop. 1 dollars.” San Francisco pushes forward with another move to encourage office conversions CoStar, April 23 The special tax district “is one element of the city’s broader strategy to unleash the potential of underused buildings,” said Mandelman in a statement. San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie Proposes Legislation to Transform Office Spaces into Housing in Downtown Revitalization Bid San Francisco Hoodline, April 23 In a move aiming to breathe new life into San Francisco's downtown areas, Mayor Daniel Lurie and Board of Supervisors President Rafael Mandelman have introduced legislation for establishing a downtown revitalization financing district. SF leaders slowly responding to growing Trump anger San Francisco Examiner, April 24 “As I say frequently, the most important thing a city like San Francisco can do for the progressive cause is show that a blue city can be run effectively,” said Board of Supervisors President Rafael Mandelman. “Also, the actions of the federal administration are impacting our people, and are causing fear and anxiety and are potentially threatening our programs and services, and it’s going to be untenable to not stand up for our values.” SF Unveils New Curbside EV charging  EV Report, April 28 “The chargers address the growing demand for EV infrastructure, with one-third of recent car sales in San Francisco being electric. The city has already expanded to 1,152 public charging ports, a 470% increase since 2019. This pilot program explores curbside charging as a complement to existing options like garage and off-street charging.” Dozens of Mission homes could gain historic preservation protections  SF Examiner, April 29 “Monday’s resolution, sponsored by Board President Rafael Mandelman, is part of a decades-long campaign to preserve buildings within the Mission Dolores neighborhood, the historical core of the broader Mission district with roots tracing all the way back to the 18th-century Spanish settlement that sprung up around the still-standing Mission Dolores adobe chapel that now gives the neighborhood its name."</image:caption>

It was a long and emotional day, but SB 961 made it out of the Privacy and Consumer Protections Committee and will now go to the full Assembly for a vote after what *should* be a perfunctory stop in the Appropriations Committee.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>On Tuesday, July 16, the SFMTA Board will vote on proposed plans for safety improvements in the West Portal neighborhood. The proposed plan includes a new pedestrian plaza in front of West Portal Station, pedestrian safety zones at crosswalks, and traffic calming throughout the neighborhood.  Walk SF is supporting the plan, while also urging the SFMTA Board to include key elements to strengthen safety. This includes making Lenox Avenue one-way (which runs next to an elementary school, park, and library), keeping proposed turn restrictions (with a plan for enforcing this with drivers), and building an inviting plaza for the community.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Hello, District 8! Summer is upon us! June was a doozy of a month as it always is. Between budget negotiations (I serve as Vice Chair of the Board’s Budget Committees) and Pride, the District 8 office has been busy! This was the second year of belt-tightening and hard choices, with real cuts to programs that do good work, and unfortunately, there is every reason to believe that next year will be even more challenging budgetarily. Nonetheless, working with the Mayor and colleagues on the Board, we were able to secure some important budget wins for District 8 even in a difficult year, including important investments in public safety and funding for activation of public spaces throughout the District. We were also able to help protect housing subsidies for vulnerable communities, including LGBTQ seniors and transgender people, HIV/AIDS funding, and funding for services for Transitional Age Youth, as well as funding for youth, arts, and culture programming and events around the District.   Many thanks to those of you who turned out to march with us in the Pride Parade; it was a ton of fun!  For those of you who may have missed it this year, not to worry; we’ll be back for another fabulous stroll down Market Street next year. We kicked off the month with a PRIDE Art Show, featuring Two Bald Guys ; if you couldn’t make it, come by our office at City Hall to say hi and check their art out!  Other highlights of the month included introducing legislation to landmark the iconic Gilbert Baker Rainbow Flag installation in Harvey Milk Plaza and passing a resolution to designate San Francisco a sanctuary city for transgender, gender nonconforming, nonbinary, and Two-Spirit people.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>One of the marvels of Glen Park is about to be more marvelous. The beautiful Burnside mural depicting the flora and fauna of Glen Canyon will soon feature, on an adjoining staircase, hand-fabricated tiles showing a scene of a stream with schools of fish framed by an embankment with flowers and plants.  The years-long project, known as Burnside Mural+, is the brainchild of the neighborhood’s tireless Renee Berger, who spotted a drab green wall and scruffy set of steps and went to work. With her crisp, energetic style, Renee asked the leaders of the Glen Park Association for help and won their backing. This was nearly four years ago. She envisioned an art piece that would showcase Glen Park’s human history and the natural history of the area’s canyon. She asked the San Francisco Parks Alliance to be the project’s fiscal sponsor and received critical financial and technical support from a few enthusiastic residents. While the start was during the dark days of the pandemic, the project ensured that the voices of the community were heard through surveys that solicited ideas for the artists. The mural artists, Elaine Chu and Marina Perez-Wong, did a brilliant job of integrating the community’s thoughts. The mural pays tribute to a trio of women who blocked a plan in the 1960s to run a freeway through the area. Hummingbirds, hawks, and voles now adorn the concrete wall, along with mountain lions, deer, and long-departed elk, all intended to depict the canyon’s natural place in San Francisco’s wrinkled landscape. The mural sits at the cul de sac of Burnside Avenue, astride the Glen Park Greenway and the Crosstown Trail, two walkways that wend through the canyon. Before her retirement, Berger had been a management consultant, specializing in community development. Upon retiring she found a means to channel her expertise and love of San Francisco by becoming a volunteer with San Francisco City Guides, for whom she leads walks that focus on murals. She sees the mural and tile stairs as more than an adornment: “It’s a way to build trust and bring joy” to Glen Park. Though she’s the stable presence guiding the project, Berger is generous with praise for others. The mural artists, and the tile-making artists, Aileen Barr and Colette Crutcher, are the “geniuses who have gifted us their talent,” she says. The tile work will include a swirling blue design running down the steps, mimicking Islais Creek, which once provided San Francisco’s water. There will be 250 “legacy tiles” that donors purchased to express their feelings, often quite poignantly, about family, friends and love of Glen Park. Most of the funding comes from these donors and other individuals, the rest from city grants. It’s been a community effort to beautify the area and keep it clean. Eighth graders from nearby St. John School sweep the area from time to time. Children began painting rocks, leading to the creation of a small rock garden in front of the mural. Just a couple of weeks ago, in a collaboration with the Glen Park Library, the Burnside project hosted a tile-making event, led by the tile artists, with dozens of kids and adults making waves and bubbles for the staircase stream. There have been lessons learned, too. The city has been slowly changing its drawn-out permitting and approval process, a promising idea that could ease similar projects. The Board of Supervisors, including Supervisor Mandelman, passed a measure to curtail fees on similar community-led work. On a clear day, the mural glows in the sun, giving joggers and dog walkers pause. “Now it’s on to phase two: the stairs,” Berger says. “The enthusiasm is there to finish this project.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Tent Encampments</image:title>
      <image:caption>Recently, neighbors have reported that tents and tent encampments have begun appearing in the area. In particular, the encampment near Waller and Shrader Streets has garnered a great deal of attention. Since the appearance of tents on sidewalks is rare in our neighborhood, and in light of increased concerns about the spread of COVID-19 in public spaces, we wanted to update our members and the greater community on the situation, including ways to get the homeless individuals into a designated and organized space where it’s easier to ensure social distancing, offer services and (hopefully) be fast-tracked into hotel rooms.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Tent Encampments</image:title>
      <image:caption>Despite presumed good intentions from Homeless Youth Alliance and other homeless advocates, the distribution of tents without any plan for where they would be located has had the effect of solving one problem by creating a different one -- and forcing some residents to shoulder the consequences of well-intentioned (but potentially problematic) tent donations during an already difficult time. Earlier this year, Supervisor Dean Preston presented the Homeless Youth Alliance (HYA) with an official commendation from the City, and has long supported their efforts and those of other homeless advocates in our area.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Supporting Our Merchants During the “Shelter in Place”</image:title>
      <image:caption>Updated as of June 11, 2020 One of Cole Valley’s greatest charms is that it has so many small, wonderful businesses — and don’t we want them to stay open after the “shelter in place” ends? Our merchants have been hit especially hard by the impacts of the coronavirus, but there are ways you can support them during these challenging times. The Cole Valley Improvement Association has reached out to the merchants and collected the ways you can help support the businesses that are closed, as well as information regarding businesses that are operating at a limited capacity. Please help our local businesses stay afloat!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 2019: A Year in Review</image:title>
      <image:caption>We hosted our annual Santa on Cole fundraiser. More than sixty families brought their children (and pets) to have their pictures taken with Santa. This year, we raised over $2,500 for our Clean Cole Street program. The Postal Chase once again served as our generous host and allowed us to use their store for the pictures. Loic Nicolas Photography continued to serve as our wonderful photographer and captured some amazing photos for the families of Cole Valley and the greater Haight-Ashbury.</image:caption>
