2016

Ronen's 2016 campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Crime & Safety

  1. Create a special Property Crime Unit that uses programs like bait cars, hot spot cameras, and crime reporting apps to solve property crimes and car break-ins.
  2. Make police part of our community by encouraging neighborhood-walking beats that get police out of their cars and into our neighborhoods, where they can get to know families, youth and businesses.
  3. Independent oversight of the Police Department that makes meaningful investigations into police misconduct and violence to restore trust between the police and our communities.

Housing & Homelessness

  1. Build 5,000 units of affordable housing in the next 10 years by leveraging state and federal funding, and purchasing land for the City to build affordable housing on.
  2. Strong negotiations with developers to include affordable housing, and ensure our community benefits from all large projects in our neighborhoods.
  3. Address homeless encampments by building additional Navigation Centers that connect homeless people with health services, bathrooms, showers, and housing.

Children & Schools

  1. Create a universal preschool program by following the example of New York and other cities around the world, and adding public preschool to our K-12 system.
  2. Create a trilingual school system that helps all San Francisco school children become proficient in our city's three major languages: Spanish, Chinese and English.
  3. Give all families healthy food options and address our many food deserts, by finding public space for farmers' markets or nonprofit grocery stores accessible to all neighborhoods.

Neighborhood Character

  1. Keep the unique character of our commercial corridors by protecting our Legacy Businesses from unfair rent hikes and evictions.
  2. Address parking and transportation needs by creating Community Traffic and Parking Boards empowered to common-sense traffic adjustments that #acknowledge the unique needs of our neighborhoods[3][4]
