Choosing San Francisco’s next Police Chief comes with a unique set of challenges.

• Competing Priorities

• Public Safety Pressures

• Inside the Department

• SF Politics

Join us for part two of our conversation with Kevin Benedicto, Esq., VP of the Police Commission, and Ann Mannix, former SFPD Deputy Chief, as we help shape the search for San Francisco’s next Chief of Police.

Take our poll to shape the conversation.

Join ConnectedSF Institute and the San Francisco Planning Department for a presentation, Q&A and discussion on the Proposed "Family Zoning Plan".

The Family Zoning Plan is a step from SF’s 2022 Housing Element, which was unanimously adopted by the BOS and certified by the state in early 2023. This eight-year plan (2023–2031) outlines how San Francisco will meet state housing goals of creating more room for families, workers, and future generations. The Proposed Map reflects community and policymaker input and aims to balance state housing requirements with local priorities. It preserves rent-controlled and multi-family housing and supports inclusive development and positions the city to shape its future with more equitable and affordable housing opportunities.

The zoning changes include mid-rise and higher developments along most corridors and form-based zoning off the corridors to accommodate at least 36,000 new housing units.

Back by popular demand! Ending traffic fatalities has been the justification for spending $800M on (some would argue erratic and confusing) street redesign. Is it working?

Join Supervisor Matt Dorsey for an in-depth discussion about his “Recovery First” ordinance—an effort to formally align San Francisco’s drug policy with the goal of long-term remission from substance use disorder, defined as living a self-directed and healthy life, free from illicit drug use. This first-in-the-nation legislation passed unanimously out of the Public Safety and Neighborhood Services Committee with a positive recommendation, and now heads to the full Board of Supervisors for a vote. It has gained the support of the San Francisco Marin Medical Society, representing over 3,000 local physicians, as well as nationally respected public health experts including Dr. Keith Humphreys, Dr. John Maa, and Dr. Stanton Glantz. Still, the ordinance faces opposition from both sides of the debate—48Hills.com claims it undermines harm reduction, while Mothers Against Drug Addiction & Deaths has withdrawn its support, arguing it leans too far in that direction. Despite the political headwinds, Supervisor Dorsey remains steadfast in his belief that the City must embrace a recovery-centered approach that reflects what we would want for our own loved ones. As someone in long-term recovery himself, Supervisor Dorsey brings a deeply personal perspective to this work—and he’s asking for your support to help move this overdue policy forward. Please join us to learn more, ask questions, and be part of the conversation to reshape San Francisco’s approach to the drug crisis.
