The city that debates everything, and means it. Tech ethics, housing policy, AI regulation. SF doesn't do small talk. Neither do we.
These are planning targets. Read the current details before making travel or attendance plans.
Technology
Robotaxis could be safer than human drivers and available around the clock. Opponents raise jobs, street safety and who answers when a car blocks an ambulance.
Public health
Mandated treatment could save lives that voluntary programs miss. The other side warns against forcing care and says the city lacks the beds to make it work.
Housing
Conversions could revive downtown and add homes. Critics say the buildings are expensive to convert and public money is better spent elsewhere.
Housing
Clear rules would let builders build without years of hearings. Opponents value the chance for neighbors to shape what goes up beside them.
Economy
Tech brought jobs, tax revenue and global influence. It also brought soaring rents and a city some longtime residents no longer recognize.
